Looking at your SQL Update statement

UPDATE news  set title =?, short_desc =?, isi =?, author =?, status =?, category =? WHERE newsid =?

I can count 7 parameters. When I look at your bind_param call

$sql->bind_param('aaaaa', 
     $title,$short_desc,$isi,$author,$status,
     $date_period_start, $date_period_end, $category);

I count 5 type characters ('aaaaa') and 8 parameters ($title, $short_desc, $isi, $author, $status, $date_period_start, $date_period_end, $category). These all need to match. Reading this might help.
