I believe the answer is:

recap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'brief news summary' is the definition.
'recap' can be an answer for 'summary' (recap is a kind of summary). I'm not certain of the 'brief news' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recap that I've seen before include "play again" , "In brief, say it again" , "Reiterate" , "look back on past things" , "Epitomize" .)
