Open Question: Has anyone edited wikipedia?

I'm attempting to create my first wikipedia page. I'm not entirely sure what they require in terms of citations. If I write a paragraph and get all my information out of one news article, do I need to cite each piece of info or can I just put the citation at the end of the paragraph and have it cover everything in that paragraph? I'm not getting all my information out of one news article. I'm reporting about a court case, so the majority of my information is coming from the news because that's where court cases are reported. There are over 50 sources I'm citing. Yes, most of them are news articles, but given how recently it happened, it's not old enough to be written up in books or other sources. What I'm asking is if I list 5 things that one defendant said on the stand and all five things are listed in one news article, do I need to put a citation after every last sentence or if I can just summarize the person's testimony and then cite that one news article at the end of the paragraph.
