Migrating news from several sites to one

I have the following news archives that I'm migrating to one new DW portal:

http://www.dof.no/archive-135.aspx

http://www.dofsubsea.com/en-US/News.aspx

http://www.dofman.no/archive-308.aspx

Ideally I would like to take the news as they are from their respective databases, keep all asset links and data, and insert them to the new database while adding a new news category to each item (a category ID that exists in the new portal).

I can't locate any documentation on news as database objects. Can anyone point me in the general direction of such documentation, and/or provide some insight/examples and caveats I should be aware of when undertaking this?

Any feedback is appreciated! :)

So I did some research of my own, and it does seem like it's quite straightforward doing this - as long as you're making sure that in the migration progress you overwrite/update the NewsCategoryID, NewsTemplateID, NewsUserCreate/Edit fields before adding them to the new database.
