I would like to build small news portal (20-50 news per day) and on front page display selected news in different boxes. What is the best practice to implement front page news selection in CMS?
With TV? Or are there better options?

That depends on how the posts are being selected. Are the posts in different categories? Do they have any distinguishing characteristics?
If it's just an arbitrary selection, you could use a TV in the front page only with a select drop-down to choose the items to display, then use that TV's output as the selection criteria for the getResources snippet.
If it's a random selection, then use the &randomize and the &limit properties.
Yes, they can be from different categories.
It is arbitrary selection, but selecting thought drop-down can be hard, due to few thousands news in few weeks.
I was thinking to add TV to resource itself like "1st box on front page".

That's probably the best way then. I'm always looking for ways to automate things like this, but if it's an arbitrary selection then there's no way to automate it.
