One of the cool features we have in SharePoint Online (SPO) when working with news in modern SPO sites is the ability to create and distribute a news digest after publishing five or more news items in a site (or in the sites associated with a hub site). To access the News digest feature, click the See all link in the News web part placed in a modern page in a SPO site:

All the recipients of the news digest will receive an e-mail with the following look & feel:
