News system with comments?

I've been thinking on this awhile but I'm too dumb to figure it out.

How would the tables of the database look in order to make a news system with options of posting comments for each news item?

you would have a table for news, and a table for comments, you could also have a table for topics as well, ill show you abasic exaple

TOPIC
topic_id
topic_title

NEWS
news_id
topic_id
date
summary
author_id
title

then for the comments

COMMENTS
comment_id
news_id
name
email
homepage
summary
date

using a database structure like this you could make a news system with comments

just with each news post seach for comments with the news post id something like this

SELECT * FROM comments WHERE news_id=$news_id

something like that
