# Add an image to a news and events

Users can add an image and a thumbnail to illustrate a news/events item.

- the thumbnail (mandatory for news items) will appear in the news/events list on the [MyUnil](https://my.unil.ch/news/) site and on the [L'ACTU](https://news.unil.ch/) or [L'AGENDA](https://agenda.unil.ch/recherche) sites, as well as on the central [UNIL](https://www.unil.ch/index.html) site
- the main image will be placed at the very beginning of the content when viewed

As with adding images to the content, it is essential to crop the image to the correct format before usage ([see here for cropping](https://wiki.unil.ch/ci/books/myunil-and-newsunil-en/page/editing-newsevent-content)).
