I like seeing the news go a little deeper than a quick summary and a link. I think with some effort there could be more in-depth articles and regular features that folks would find entertaining.
ideas:
Story Hour of the Week: Pick a person or two who read the Story Hour Forum regularly to highlight one story hour per week. Provide some sample quotes, maybe do a teeny tiny interview with the author, provide a link, etc.
Dig Deep into the Boards: There is so much cool stuff going on here on the boards it's impossible to keep up with it all. I would love to see an expert on each form dig up a couple of links to the neatest thing going on in that forum. You could almost do this daily, with a different forum being highlighted each day. Not only interesting discussions -- but also creations like house rules, the cool templated monster threads I've been seeing in the Rogues Gallery, explain how some of these message board games work (is You Bastard! still being run here?).
More ideas (not regular features necessarily):
Gameday Expose: A little investigative reporting into this kind of mini-convention -- what it is, how you set one up, what you can expect if you attend, what it's like for those who are hosting it, etc.
Hightlight new d20 Systems as they appear in different products: People seem to dig Unearthed Arcana because of its different ways of doing D&D -- there are lots of D20 products that do this too.
Comparative Reviews: I know, the reviews system is great, but it would be neat to see 3 or 4 similar products reviewed together by the same person.
