When I make a new news element in my archive and set it to redirect to an article I get this PHP error every time. Anyone know what might be going on?

Code:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception Exception with message Query error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY parent, sorting' at line 1 (SELECT id, title, (SELECT title FROM tl_page WHERE tl_article.pid=tl_page.id) AS parent FROM tl_article WHERE pid IN() ORDER BY parent, sorting) thrown in /home3/domain/public_html/typolighttest/system/libraries/Database.php on line 599

Thanks for any insight. Also let me know if there is a better way to have an existing article show up in my news archive.

Edit: Just to clarify I suppose I'm looking for a way to include a content element as a news item as opposed to a whole article in the tyoplight language.
