In the news OR on the news Hi all, I found this question in a textbook: Q: The company's stock tumbled _____ the news that it would have to recall over 30,000 tires that were produced in 2004. A: in B: for C: on Should I fill in the blank with "in" or "on"? I remember we usually use "on the news" but after checking Oxford dictionary, it seems to me that we can use both: http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/news?q=news - She is always in the news. - I saw it on the news. What's the difference? And what should we use in the question above? Thanks all.

The answer for your sentence is "on". Don't look at "on/in the news"; look at the verb before it: tumbled.
