I wouldn't be storing the pages in a separate model, but rather using
some sort of page break marker within a 'body' field of the
NewsStory... otherwise i can imagine it will become difficult to edit
(add an extra paragraph to the first page, then cut-n-paste like a
waterfall through the other pages...)
You could then perhaps create a custom filter to do something like:
{% newsarticle.body|page pagenum %}
which just outputs the page you're after based on the page break
markers within the body text. I'm no expert either, but there's an
idea :)
Hope that helps!
