穿鑿附會的說法,不要以訛傳訛!
The word "news" comes from a special use of the plural of the word "new", and not as the common backronym claims, from the four cardinal directions (North, East, West, and South).

這個字頗有趣,它的解釋有二種:
第一種如網友所述 NEWS分別代表東西南北,來自四面的消息,叫新聞。
另一種解釋,NEW=新,而新的事務的"複數化"= +S,於是很多新鮮事,就叫新聞。
至於中文,新聞,聞者知悉也,就是聽到或知道某些事情,知道的東西是新的,也就是之前不知道的,當然是新聞。
