The news hole is the amount of content a news provider needs to create in every publishing cycle.
For example, a news broadcast on radio or TV has a certain amount of air time it needs to fill. Likewise, a newspaper, magazine, newsletter, or website, has a news hole of a certain number of printed pages, dependent in part on how many advertisements are sold to advertisers.
The next time you give a reporter a story, tell him “Stick this in your news hole.” Heard on the fifth season of “The Wire.”
