Morphology
The meaning 'a brief publication providing information' is directly derivable from combining 'information' (collected facts) with 'bulletin' (a brief report). This noun–noun composition is fully compositional and common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase information bulletin comes from the old idea of a small paper called a bulletin that was pinned on a board or handed out to share quick information. That's why today it means a short 'announcement' or 'update' about a topic.
