I don't know, but my mom and grandpa used that phrase all the time. It does seem to be true. Like if you have a test at the Dr's and they call you back with the results right away, I can almost guarantee the news is not good. If I don't hear from my family in a while, I assume everything is OK. If my cousin from Oregon called me, the first thing I would ask would be "whats wrong?"

Having no information means that bad developments are unlikely, as in I haven't heard from them in a month, but no news is good news. This proverbial phrase may have originated with King James I of England, who allegedly said "No news is better than evil news" (1616).
