According to  Merriam-Webster,  the news is defined as "a report of recent [previously unknown] events or information."

If you have had access to the internet for the past couple of months, there is a very big chance you have heard about the Gabby Petito case. In the instance you have no clue what I'm talking about, in August of 2021, Petito went missing while on a road trip with her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie. Here is a link to the timeline, it goes into great detail on each step of the case. As of September 28, The U.S. National Park Service has denied two requests for public records filed under the Freedom of Information Act. The records consisted of reservation data from Yellowstone National Park and ranger body camera footage from Arches National Park.
