I believe the answer is:

sewn

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

'united?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'fresh news' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates anagramming the letters (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'news' anagrammed gives 'SEWN'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sewn that I've seen before include "Darned" , "done with a needle" , "Given the needle" , "Joined by stitching" , "Fastened with needlework" .)
