Morphology

news + organization

The meaning 'an organization that gathers, produces, and distributes news' is directly derivable from the constituents 'news' (reported information) and 'organization' (a collective with a purpose); the compound simply specifies the organization's domain. This is a transparent, compositional noun + noun pattern common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.

Etymology

The compound news organization comes from the simple idea of a group that 'organizes' news, so imagine reporters, editors and producers working together in a newsroom to collect stories and send them out. That's why it means a company that gathers, produces and shares news.
