Now that we basically have everything in place to display the news articles up and running, we need to be able to publish them as well, otherwise there won't be anything to show.

Let's start by creating a new controller in the Controllers folder called NewsroomController; we will only need a default route of Index, so make the controller look like the following code snippet:

using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace Chapter3.Controllers
{
    [Authorize]
    public class NewsroomController : Controller
    {
        // GET: Content
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}
