Morphology
The meaning 'a male journalist who reports news on television' is directly derivable from combining 'TV' (television) with 'newsman' (male journalist), where the first element specifies the medium. This straightforward noun–noun composition is common cross-linguistically and follows predictable English compounding patterns, so a B1 learner knowing both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
TV newsman came when television became common and people used the older word newsman for someone who brings the news. It gives the image of a man standing by a camera reading the news, so today it means 'a male journalist who reports news on television'.
