I think the rationale for using the News section is that these are just links to external content, and traditionally the expectation was for Meditations to be more substantial content for discussion.

    Exactly. It's not that there can't be discussion ensuing from a PN post; the main difference is that the OP is simply sharing a link to something offsite, vs presenting their own ruminations on a topic and including relevant off-site links.
