newswire

/ˈnuzˌwaɪɹ/ noun

A service used for the transmission of breaking news to the media or to the public.

Word Origin Newswire is a compound of news (from new, ultimately Old English nīwe) and wire (Old English wīr 'metal filament'). Originally, news was transmitted over telegraph wires, so a newswire was literally a wire service for news. The word news itself is just new with an -s, and wire gives us wireless (without wires) and wiring. A great example of technology shaping language.
