I always assumed it was news as plural. Here's a list of new's. This is new, that is new.

I'm pretty sure this is the actual etymology of news.

People asking each other "what new things?" becomes "what news", as well as usage like "that information is new to me" becoming "that is news to me"

It's not only okay not to pluralize with an apostrophe, ever, but as a bonus it makes what you wrote into English.

Might as well call it Olds then, these days, considering how repetitious it all is.
