Answer 1

Right after instantiating the controller the outlets are not connected yet, you have to declare temporary variables and set the outlet properties in viewDidLoad()

...
    let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
    let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "NewsView") as! SimpleNewsViewController
    controller.tempImage = UIImage(named: "image.jpg")
    controller.tempLabel = "this is an example that can be really long"
    controller.tempText = "this is a title example
    self.navigationController?.pushViewController(controller, animated: true)
...

class SimpleNewsViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var myImage: UIImageView!
@IBOutlet weak var myLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var myText: UITextView!

var tempImage : UIImage?
var tempLabel = ""
var tempText = ""

var event: Events!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    myImage.image = tempImage
    myLabel.text = tempLabel
    tempText.text = tempText
}
