Custom Archive Page
What you’re describing is a custom archive page.

Child Theme
Forget widgetised areas. They’re not necessary based on what you described. Simply fork (copy and manipulate) your archives template page by using using a child theme rather than directly editing the parent theme (edits won’t survive theme updates).

Featured Posts
Ensure your site easily handles featured posts:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-post/

Constrain by Category
E.g. Communications
Finally, constrain your post loop by category:
