Spun news for the audience (7)
I believe the answer is:
whirred
'spun' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'news for the audience' is the wordplay.
'news' becomes 'word' ('word' can be a synonym of 'news').
'for the audience' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'word' sounds like 'WHIRRED'.
(Other definitions for whirred that I've seen before include "was humming" , "Hummed; vibrated" , "Spun, making a sound" .)
