Use 'objectValues'.  objectValues can accept a string containing one
meta_type, or a list of strings specifying multiple meta_types:

<dtml-in objectValues>
  <dtml-var title>
</dtml-in>

will show all object's titles or 

<dtml-in "objectValues('News Item')">
  <dtml-var title>
</dtml-in>

will just render news items, or:

<dtml-in "objectValues(['News Item', 'DTML Document'])">
  <dtml-var title>
</dtml-in>

will render news items and dtml documents.
