Morphology
The phrase combines 'stream' (a steady flow) with 'news' (information), so its meaning as a continuous flow of information is directly derivable from the constituent words. This compositional 'stream of X' pattern is common across languages and in English, so a B1 learner who knows the component words would readily understand it.
Etymology
Stream of news uses the image of a flowing stream carrying leaves or papers, so you can picture news items moving one after another. So it means 'a steady flow of information', like the constant updates you see on TV or online.
