news is a great domain keyword http://www.sitefirms.com/domain-sales/news however you are right in judging that it is better to develop a site on this one first. The announcer is kind of fits but little long and makes the domain lose it charm to large extent. newscoverage, newscollector, newstalk, newsvine, newssearch are the type of domains that sell easily. mid $xx ATM unless you find the right buyer which may pay up to mid $xxx IMHO.
