The Nine Network's news service is ''Nine News'' (previously ''National Nine News''). For many decades, it was the top-rating news service nationally, but was over taken in the mid-2000s by rival network Seven. Nine regained its news dominance (nationally) at the conclusion of the 2013 ratings year.

Nine produces several news bulletins and programmes, including ''[[Today (1982 TV program)|Today]]'', ''[[Today Extra]]'', ''[[Weekend Today (Australian TV series)|Weekend Today]]'', [[Nine News#Nine News: Early Edition|''Nine News: Early Edition'']], [[Nine News#Nine Morning News|''Nine Morning News'']], [[Nine News#Afternoon news|''Nine Afternoon News'']]'', [[Nine News|Nine News: First at Five]]'', local nightly editions of [[Nine News#Local bulletins|''Nine News'']] as well as regional news bulletins for Northern New South Wales and the Gold Coast under the name ''NBN News'' and since March 2020, national late night bulletins titled [[Nine News|''Nine News Late'']]

The news service also produces ''[[A Current Affair (Australian TV program)|A Current Affair]]'' which programs every weekday and Saturday, ''Under Investigation'', an investigative current affairs show which programs every Monday, and ''[[60 Minutes (Australian TV program)|60 Minutes]]'', which programs every Sunday night. Until mid-2018 during weekday overnights and Sunday mornings, Nine rebroadcast American television network [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s news and current affairs programme ''[[Good Morning America]]''.

<!-- Exclusive contracts with [[ABC News]] and [[TVNZ]] for international news coverage. -->
From 2008, major expansion saw ''Today'' broadcast on Saturday and Sunday, the weekday version running from 05:30 until 09:00 weekdays, the launch of the ''[[Nine News#Nine News: Early Edition|Nine Early News]]'', the axing of the ''Sunday'' program, ''National Nine News'' becoming ''Nine News'' after poor ratings, losing to ''Seven News'', ''Nine Late News'' was launched then renamed as ''[[Nightline (Australian news program)|Nightline]]'' and the 11{{Space}}am bulletin being renamed as ''[[Nine News#Nine Morning News|Nine's Morning News]]'', running from 11:00 until 12:00 weekdays (now a half-hour news bulletin from 2015 onwards).

Meanwhile, several additions have been made to ''[[Nine News]]'' teams around the country, as well as the acquisition of more reporters by ''[[A Current Affair (Australian TV series)|A Current Affair]]'' and also state-based ''[[Today (1982 TV program)|Today]]'' reporters (plus a ''[[Weekend Today (Australian TV program)|Weekend Today]]'' weather presenter).

In 2014, Nine News website moved from its ninemsn website (now known as nine.com.au) to a brand-only website become 9news.com.au, which are still in use to this day.

Nine has posted journalists overseas to cover major European stories following the closure of its European bureau in late 2008, with the last European correspondent, James Talia, being redesignated to his former role as a senior Melbourne ''Nine News'' journalist. Reporters including Simon Bouda, [[Allison Langdon]], Chloe Bugelly, Eddie Blake, [[Tim Arvier]], and [[Brett McLeod]] have all been on projects for ''Nine News'' bulletins in Greece, the UK, France, South Africa, Thailand, and the Czech Republic.

Starting in the 1980's, the ''[[Eyewitness News]]'' theme music (adapted from the film ''[[Cool Hand Luke]]'') has been the official Nine News theme. First adopted in the Sydney and Melbourne stations and later in Perth and Adelaide, it is now played nationwide in all 7 O&O stations in their respective newscasts. Until 2021, ''NBN News'' used its own theme music, from 8 November 2021, it started using the Nine News theme music. The theme is also used by Nine's radio division [[Nine Radio]].
