News (7)

I believe the answer is:

tidings

'news' is the definition.
(I know that news can be written as tidings)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tidings that I've seen before include "Information about recent events" , "News (arch.)" , "News (obs.)" , "News, reports" , "News, information" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph, The Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
