You need to look in the 'form' partial (_form.rhtml). Find the 'news' field
and add a :cols=>40 or whatever.
Here's the full text_area syntax:

text_area("post", "body", "cols" => 20, "rows" => 40)


..which I got from http://api.rubyonrails.com.
For any Rails work, I highly recommend the book "Agile Web Development with
Rails"
