report

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

'news story' is the definition.
'report' can be an answer for 'story' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'news' bit.

'about the left?' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (common abbreviation for 'with reference to').
'the left?' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
're'+'port'='REPORT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for report that I've seen before include "Bulletin" , "Give an account" , "Work for a newspaper" , "A loud bang, or an account" , "Relate; gun noise" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
