Look, I don't know who you are, Webster. I have done my own online research using a dictionary and that is what it means. Do you even know what a dictionary is?

The news are the new things. New stories, events.
Like the olds would be yesterdays news

I mean, it doesn't, literally speaking. But that does make a pretty good acronym for it, tbh.
