You can do both, or just use the newsreader.
I use slrn to read news -- it's sort of like a mutt-for-news, only not
as cool ;) You specify your newsserver in .slrnrc or globally in
/etc/news/something (if you're on Debian).
I also use leafnode as a local news spool, so that reading news is fast;
it slurps all the groups I'm interested in every morning from my ISP.
