Breadcrumbs for some content types I'm using breadcrumbs generally throughout my Drupal 7 site and all working well. 

However, for news articles, I don't want to have to add each into the menu structure as over time, this will be a little out of control.

I'd like content of the type = news to have 

Home > News > Title

with an active link back to my /news page.

Is this possible whilst still using the normal breadcrumb for other content?
Just for the record, if you want to do this with Crumbs:

Go to /admin/structure/crumbs/entity-parent.
For content type "News", enter "news" as parent path.

Likely it already works now.
If not, check the order and status of plugins on /admin/structure/crumbs.
Also check /admin/structure/crumbs/debug, where you can simulate breadcrumb-building for specific pages.
