Morphology
The meaning 'a single piece of news' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'news' (media-reported information) + 'item' (a distinct unit). This noun–noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
News item may come from old newspapers that printed many short reports, each called an item. Because each item was a single short report, news item now means 'a single piece of news'.
