Normally your edition of the news will only contain events that have
occurred since you last read the news.  You can specify what time 
period you'd like it to cover with the optional <DAYS> argument 
in the command line as in:
.s3
.EX news 2
Which will print the news for the last two days.

Also, if you are only interested in a particular page, you can
request what page you want with the optional p<PAGENUM> argument
in the command line as in:
.s3
.EX news p3
Which will print only the most recent page 3 events.
