I believe the answer is:

reporter

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

'one bringing news' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'about hotel employee?' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'hotel employee?' becomes 'porter' (type of hotel employee).
're'+'porter'='REPORTER'

Can you help me to learn more?
