I think it's probably just coincidence, since there are only so many acronyms that one could form with the letters "N, E, W, S.
Lambonius...Rarely has our moderating team encountered a forumite as consistently unpleasant as you, and you've burned through far more chances than you deserved. A person really has to try hard to be so obnoxious that they're banned from AG, but you've managed it and then some.

The same puzzle also exists in Might & Magic VI. And the same News/NEWS pun is also used by dervish in Quest for Glory II. I guess it's a rather common play on words.

I think it's a pretty common myth that the word news originated from the cardinal directions.

It ended up being "NEWS" because I'm saving "SEWN" for another puzzle someday.
