Hey Nigel!

Looks like you're forgetting to check if you've already got a saved NewsFragment:

        NewsFragment savedFragment = (NewsFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.placeholder);
        if (savedFragment == null) {
          NewsFragment newsFragment = new NewsFragment();
          FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
          FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
          fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.placeholder, newsFragment);
          fragmentTransaction.commit();
        }
