1. "The" is correct to use here with news.
2. "will" is often used when we talk about ascertain worldly things.
3. We don't publish news. Rather we publish articles in news, so "the news has been published" is okay.

The fixed expression many a/an is more formal than the single word many, and it is much less common. Many a/an is used mainly in literary writing and newspapers. Like the adjective and pronoun many discussed above, many a/an is used to indicate a large number of something. However, it takes a singular noun, which can be followed by a singular verb. Here are some
Examples:
It remained a mystery for many a year [= for many years].
I've been there many a time. [= many times].
Many a politician has promised to make changes. [Politician and has are singular].
