What the papers get from all quarters (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

news

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

'what the papers get' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'all quarters' is the wordplay.
'all' becomes 'ne' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'quarters' becomes 'ws'.
'ne'+'ws'='NEWS'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for news that I've seen before include "This is compiled for one" , "Sewn (anag.)" , "that's aired at six o'clock" , "Latest info" , "Contents of bulletin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
