In the lingo, a "news app" is typically some sort of interactive presentation of one particular story, and depending on the story may allow the user to filter or visualize something from a database, it might change the information based on where you live and it can include interactive maps or charts or calculators or even mini games to illustrate a particular concept. So these are one-off projects made to deadline, not a generic mobile app for reading the news.
