Can I swing trade through news?

Hello everybody!

I am a rookie trader practicing my strategy on a demo account and I have a question for those of you with some experience, my trades will usually last from 20-40 hours, so can I place a trade, even if there will be some important news event the next day and my trade is not finished yet? Are there only some news events I should avoid by not placing the swing trade, or can I safely trade through most of them without worrying about my stops being hit?

Best regards
Martin
