Edit your view,

def new_submit(request):
    if request.method == 'POST': 
        form = NewsForm(request.POST) 
        if form.is_valid():
            c=form.save(commit=False)
            c.author = request.user
            c.save()
            return redirect('your_url_name' )
        else:
            return render(request, 'template_name', dict(form, form))
    else:
        form = NewsForm()
        return render(request,'new_submit.html', {'form': form})

When the form is not valid, your else statement returns form.errors directly. That is not a valid thing to return from a view; views always need to return an HTTP response.

You should remove that first else statement, and let execution fall through to the final line so that your template is rendered with the invalid form. You should also modify the template so that it actually outputs the contents of form.errors.
