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.
