An account of the news (6)
I believe the answer is:
report
'an account of the news' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for report that I've seen before include "Porter (anag.)" , "Statement of facts, news etc - noise" , "Formal statement" , "Complain about; noise" , "A loud bang, or an account" .)
