Block (SiteContentType) for listing news

How would a good practice be in regards of making a block (SiteContentType) that lists the latest news?

So far i've made a couple of properties:

Heading string

NumberOfNewsListed int

RootPage LinkItem Points to a newspage with children (suspect that this is wrong)

virtual IEnumerable<PageData> News
should return children (Limited to newsitems) of the RootPage property

Right now, I'm struggeling with making a PageReference och PageData from the RootPage LinkItem.

Any suggestions?

Can't you use a PageReference for your RootPage instead of LinkItem?

I cannot access the Where|Any|SortBy method on a PageDataCollection object.
