How do you use News and Announcements?

Summary:

We have previously used News and Announcements section for different articles for our global community about awards, news, people, celebrations, department or region specific items, learning dates etc.

However we are in the process of getting an intranet and therefore the News and Announcements will be blank. I am interested to know what other companies use the News and Announcements section for. i.e only HR news? timelines for HR people management lifecycle including reminders? What works well for your organisation?

Any ideas on how your organisation is using News and Announcements would be appreciated. We want it to be colourful, creative and bring people into the Oracle HCM system (if possible!)
