As far as I know, "CMFDefault.NewsItem" is not prepared to
get an image attribute.

You are right when you assume that this does not mean you cannot do it,
but it would be clearer to make your own content type derived
from "NewsItem".

I would use a ZClass for this, derived from "ObjectManager"
with a "NewsItem" and "Images" as content.
You may find some details in the "Web site construction kid" (or similar)
book. The essential chapter 5 is on "cmf.zope.org".

There are people that are very suspicious wrt ZClasses and
prefer Python based content classes.
