I believe the answer is:

unswept

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

'the dust allowed to settle' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'news put out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'news'+'put'='newsput'
'newsput' is an anagram of 'UNSWEPT'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
