Meaning and background
The story behind Newsy
Newsy has a documented communication-related sense. Merriam-Webster records something containing or filled with news and a separate newsworthy sense. An owner might choose it for a dog who seems to announce every event at the window. That is affectionate interpretation rather than a dictionary description of the animal. The source establishes the adjective itself, without proving a newspaper-related personal-name origin or a particular fictional namesake.
