'News' in the Bible

And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.

So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith.

By faith Isaac, blessing Jacob and Esau, gave news of things to come.
