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.

The name news reader was later used for apps and devices because they do the same job as a person: they get headlines and 'read' them aloud. So today a news reader can mean a program or device that collects and reads news to you.
