NEWS is not an acronym for North, East, West, and South - that is an old legend. News stands for and new information and/or current events.
Good Luck!!!

Quote taken from an online Chambers Dictionary:
News singular noun
1 information about recent events, now especially as reported in newspapers, on radio or TV, or via the Internet.
2 (the news) a radio or TV broadcast report of news.
3 any fresh interesting information.
4 a currently celebrated person, thing or event • He's big news in America. that's news to me colloq I have not heard that before.
Unquote.
So it's not an acronym.

News is not an acronym. The definition of news is a change in the status quo.
