            'singular_name' => __( 'News', 'lang' ),
            'add_new_item'       => __( 'Add a news', 'lang' ),
    ],
        'public' => true,
        'has_archive' => true,
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-admin-post',
        'show_in_rest' => false,
        'rewrite' => ['slug' => 'news'],
        'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
    ];

    register_post_type( 'news',
        $args
    );
