Bottom line

.news gives a site a clear association with current events, reporting, or updates. It can suit a newsroom, local bulletin, industry publication, organisation sharing announcements, or a personal project that follows a particular subject. The word is broad, so the name and page should say what is covered and who publishes it. A news label doesn't by itself make a site a newsroom or show that its material has been independently checked.
Rightside's registry launched it, and in 2021 it moved to Dog Beach, part of Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). It was added to the root zone on 12 March 2015. There are no eligibility restrictions.
A publisher should name its editors and give readers a way to report errors. Time-sensitive pages need dates, and older articles should remain distinguishable from current reporting. A business using .news for announcements can label those posts as company communications. A site comparing journalism with a broader reporting resource might also consider .report, which can describe non-news reports as well. The choice depends on whether the site gives ongoing news coverage or publishes specific reports and updates.
