Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'news' (media-reported information) + 'report' (a written or spoken account): together they denote an account about recent events. This is a common, non-metaphorical noun compound found across languages and will be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
News report comes from the simple image of someone bringing new information to a group: news means 'new information' and report is a short 'telling' of what happened. Imagine a town crier or a reporter telling the day's events aloud — that's why a news report today means a short account of 'recent events'.
