Thanks for the response Frida. I think each site presents value and, of course, google does the ranking not me. However, if I thought I was potentially facing a penalty I would "derank" one of the sites, probably the news site. And I might be able to do this by changing the home page title and the h1 tag and pointing it slightly in a different direction in the serps.
