Probably best to do something like that on the toolserver [provided it isn't violating rules about using wikimedia content to display articles. I don't think its a problem for just headlines, don't really know] . It probably wouldn't be too difficult to do (I can't do it since I'm going to be away for about a month starting tomorrow).
Doing it directly on enwikinews is more difficult. It could use js to hide all other page content, but that's kind of ugly, or it could use xslt and the api, which is also kind of ugly.

Hmmm tricky. We already have a template for a ticker [1] (not in that style, but it's a start).
I thought it would be possible to show just that by putting ?action=render in the url (to hide all the extraneous toolbars and things) but it doesn't work [2], apparently that also ditches all the javascript needed for the ticker.
Anyone else got any ideas? Something like this would be quite useful
