How to create news on Wordpress?

Question

WordPress

Guys, help. You need to create a "news" section in WP. I created in two ways:
1) Pages. Parent "news" and in it created other pages "the news themselves". They say you shouldn't do it.
2) Created the heading "News" and wrote "Records". But the problem is that the URL of the curve is obtained. The word /category/ came from somewhere.
I need:
/news/ (list of announcements)
/news/novost1/ (news itself)
and so on.
What is the easiest way to implement such a scheme? At least figuratively, I implement it myself, the method is important.

Answer 1

Use custom post types. Here are examples of how to use Example 1 , Example 2 . And there will be happiness. After setting up the permalinks, get the url you need.

Answer 2

Method 2 is the correct one. If you need to remove the category, then just install the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-no-category-base/...
And the url can be configured in the "Settings -> Permalinks" section
