Interesting question! The singular form of "news" is actually still "news". This word is a little trickier because it's an uncountable noun, which means it doesn't have a typical singular or plural form. This may seem odd as we usually expect words ending in 's' to be plural. But just like 'rice' or 'advice', 'news' is uncountable and remains the same whether it refers to one piece of news or many. So why is it like this? Well, the word 'news' came from the phrase 'new things' or 'new information', and over time it morphed into one single term. So, if you're talking about one particular piece of information, you say, "piece of news". It's one of the quirks of the English language!
