# Adding a tag

Tags provide a useful way to group related News articles together and to quickly tell readers what a News article is about. In the Intranet tags are used to group location and sector specific News articles together (e.g Bristol or IT News) and display them on the corresponding page (e.g Bristol Social or IT page) by filtering the News block by that tag.
