It's not clear from what you say if you want to set properties at object
creation time, or later on.

If it's at creation time, you can do it like Tres proposes, in the skin
responsible for creation. Another IMHO cleanrer solution would be to use
a Scriptable Type for your News type, and the script would call the
appropriate product constructor then set initial values in the object.
This way invokeFactory transparently does all that's needed.

Then you have some catching up to do on Zope documentation :-)
