BTreefolder should help you out. Just another idea is to split your news 
into ordinary subfolders by datetime-hierarchies. Something like

2003
   / 01 => All news from jan 2003

2002
   / 12 => All news from dec 2003
   / 11 => All news form nov 2003
   ...

I use this scheme for storing the mails within my Zope-MailBoxer and it 
works very well... even for high-traffic lists.
