Perhaps counterintuitively (in British English at least) the noun news is uncountable (e.g. referring to a mass rather than something that can be counted), and is singular in grammatical construction (so cannot be pluralised).

The same applies to when I hear about something from certain people. A part of me expects to hear about Columbus' "discovery" of America any century now from a few folks.

Well, it's too late to buy or sell the move they just reported but do many people do that?
