Morphology

business + news

The meaning 'news relating to companies, finance, and the economy' is directly and transparently built from 'business' (commercial activity) + 'news' (reported information); a learner who knows both words can readily infer the compound meaning. This is a common, compositional collocation found across languages and standard media vocabulary, so it will be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Business news comes from old newspapers and radio shows that made a special section for business, meaning companies and money, and news, meaning new information. So, business news today means 'news relating to companies, finance, and the economy'.
