This is for comics that present "<Subject> News" as title, subtitle or similar, in the same manner as we are presented with Facts and Tips in Category:Fun fact and Category:Tips categories.
Five comics have titles in this format, but it is more often in the caption or the title text.
The mere presence of the word "news" is insufficient, or the portrayal of newspapers, the comic 1062: Budget News qualifies due to its title, not the "Daily News" newspaper within it. And thus a comic like 997: Wait Wait with several newspapers does not belong here.
If it is a sentence where it alludes to "good" and/or "bad" news, then it does not belong here.
Click to expand for a more detailed explanation:
1062: Budget News seems to have been the first comic, with this kind of News. It even used it for the title. Actually the first four comics all used it in the title and after that it only happened one more time, as of 2026, with 2984: Asteroid News.
At the time this category was created, the comic that prompted it was 3203: Binary Star, where the news is mentioned in the caption, a Space News.
This category should not be confused with Category:News anchor. There could be a News part of such a comic, like in 2984: Asteroid News, but generally that is not the case.
Also comics using the word News in the title (or any other way) is not part of this category if it is not used as described above. For instance like in 2505: News Story Reaction or 2174: First News Memory
