Answer

Both are incorrect.You would say " That is good news" .We use the word NEWS in the plural all the time in this situation.

Answer

You say 'This is good news'.

The word 'news', like 'information' or 'advice', is an UNCOUNTABLE noun. That is why it takes a singular verb ( 'This is...' ) , but no article.

Answer

Both these options are wrong. New means something that is recent and not old whereas news refers to report of a recent event, media coverage.

Answer

"New" and "news" are different words with different meaning. You can only say "news".
