Morphology
The compound 'news reader' is transparently built from 'news' + 'reader' and will be interpreted by a B1 learner as something that reads or presents news (either a person, device, or app). The specific technical detail that it fetches or aggregates sources is a predictable extension of 'reader' as a device/app, so the overall meaning is accessible from the constituents.
Etymology
The noun news reader comes from early radio and TV, when a person sat with a script and read the news aloud to listeners. So the picture of a human reader speaking the bulletin is why it means 'a person who reads out news bulletins' today.
