If you don't see Pages on the top or left of the site, select Settings on the upper right, then select Site Contents. On the Site Contents page, select Site Pages. -
Look for the name of your page or news post in the Name column. It may be in a folder.

Optionally, you can use the Filter or Sort options to help find your page.
