Surface Forms

news magazine singular

Morphology

news + magazine

The meaning 'a magazine that reports and analyzes current events' is directly and compositionally derived from 'news' (information about events) + 'magazine' (a regularly issued publication). This straightforward noun–noun compound follows common English and cross‑linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will easily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

News magazine comes from the simple idea of news (recent events) put into a magazine (a printed 'collection' of articles). Each issue is like one 'collection' of reports and longer pieces, often published weekly. That's why it means a magazine that reports and explains current events.
