Can I add a YouTube video into a news item?

Yes, you can or add it to any other page that uses the generic section type.
Basically:
- go to the YouTube site and view the video you want to embed
- select the Share option in the YouTube options
- select Embed and copy the HTML it displays into your machine's clipboard
- go to your web site and log on as administrator, go to the News section
- select the pencil icon to edit the article that you want to add the video to
- using the Edit HTML icon, copy that HTML into the news item and submit.
To illustrate what to do, I've created a video to illustrate how a Tom Russell video was added to a newsitem about a Real Music Club concert.
