A scrap of news shouting urgent at you, then quietly outdated by lunch.
means A short official statement or notice giving the latest news on a developing situation, often issued at intervals.
from From Italian 'bulletino,' a diminutive of 'bulletta' — a little ticket or note — itself shrunk from 'bulla,' Latin for a seal or sealed document (the same 'bulla' behind a papal 'bull'). So a bulletin began as a small sealed certificate, then drifted into French as 'bulletin' before reaching English in the 1600s, eventually meaning the brief, stamped-with-authority news note we know.
