Morphology

newsroom = news + room (transparent) = news + room

The departmental/staff meaning is a natural extension of 'news' + 'room' to denote the organization unit associated with news work.

Etymology

Newsroom also means the team or department that makes the news ('new information'), so it refers to the staff who gather, write, and edit the stories you read or hear.
