Morphology

newspeople = news + people (transparent) = news + people

The compound denotes people associated with news (journalists/reporters), a meaning that follows directly from the components.

Etymology

Newspeople comes from news and people. Here newspeople means the people who gather and tell others about 'recent' events, like reporters and presenters, so they are the ones who bring the 'news' to the public.
