I've edited your controller to add a generic display method at the bottom, The other methods setup the data array and call the display method. I also added return; to some of them. The concept is called DRY - Don't Repeat Yourself

Code:
<?php
class News extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('news_model');
}
public function index()
{
$data['news'] = $this->news_model->get_news();
$data['title'] = 'News archive';
$data['view_path'] = 'news/index'; // this is the view to be shown as content
$this->show_page($data); // this will display your page
return;
}
public function view($slug)
{
$data['news_item'] = $this->news_model->get_news($slug);
if (empty($data['news_item']))
{
show_404();
}
$data['title'] = $data['news_item']['title'];
$data['view_path'] = 'news/view'; // this is the view to be shown as content
$this->show_page($data); // this will display your page
return;
}
public function create()
{
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$data['title'] = 'Create a news item';
$this->form_validation->set_rules('title', 'Title', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('text','text','required');
if($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)

$data['view_path'] = 'news/create'; // this is the view to be shown as content

else
