You need to do 2 things:

  1. Enable SEO URLs. First change

    htaccess.txt

    on your site's root to

    .htaccess

    then go to System -> Global Configuration in the administration panel and set "Search Engine Friendly URLs" to "Yes".

  2. Under "Menus" in the administration panel - change the relevant menu item's Alias to "news" and click "Save".
