Please consider adding a character limit warning to the news posts if what's being posted is over the character limit, so you have a chance to edit and move text. Right now it just truncates posts so you lose everything above a threshold if you aren't careful. If you're lucky and you notice it you can hit back and the information is still there in the post box.
Better yet would be a a option to expand text if it goes over a certain limit, which most websites have.
