Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'news' (media-reported information) with 'bulletin' (a brief official report or announcement). This noun-noun composition follows a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern for short announcements, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
News bulletin comes from the old idea of a small written notice: a short bulletin would be pinned to a wall to tell the latest news. So the phrase now means a short official 'announcement' of the latest news on radio or TV.
