GetSimple has a range of news plugins available for use, each of which have their own unique quirks, strengths and weaknesses. The most potent one on Extend at the moment I believe is I18N News, although strictly there isn't a plugin with that name on the repository. I18N News refers to the use of Mvlcek's various I18N-branded plugins as a news module, because they are so flexible that they can be used for a great many other purposes far and beyond the scope of news.
They are not the most user-friendly plugins to use for this purpose initially, hence many choose to just use the pre-packaged plugins that are there, which is understandable. But with a tutorial that eases you into their use, you should have no problems whatsoever manipulating these tools into an incredibly powerful asset to your site.
I give you the I18N News Plugin Series!
I18N News [Version 1] (uses i18n and i18n Search)
