(From my reading of the original intent, this seems to be more correct... Though the adding of the Good News/Bad News variations by the OE makes me doubt that, so embedding this info. Removing the Expanded section, as not really useful as it was written.)

[[1062: Budget News]] seems to have been the first comic with this kind of News, appearing in the title. The first four comics all used it in the title, and after that, it only happened one more time as of February 2026.
 
 
The comic that inspired this category is [[3203: Binary Star]], where the news is mentioned in the caption, as Space News.
 
 
This category should not be confused with [[Category:News anchor]]. There could be a News part of such a comic, like in [[2984: Asteroid News]], but generally that is not the case.
 
 
Comics using the word "News" in the title (or any other way) are not part of this category if it is not used as described above. For instance like in [[2505: News Story Reaction]] or [[2174: First News Memory]]
 
 
So far, there have been the following types of news:
 
#[[1062: Budget News|Budget News]]
 
#[[3203: Binary Star|Space news]]

This is for comics that present "<Subject> News" as title, subtitle or similar, in the same manner as we are presented with Facts and Tips in Category:Fun fact and Category:Tips categories.

Five comics have titles in this format, but it is more often in the caption or the title text.

The mere presence of the word "news" is insufficient, or the portrayal of newspapers, the comic 1062: Budget News qualifies due to its title, not the "Daily News" newspaper within it. 997: Wait Wait

If it is a sentence where it alludes to "good" and/or "bad" news, then it does not belong here.
