Hmm... I like Current Events better than News Desk or Current News. [[WP:CN]] should stay for clueless newbies.

From Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia.
I think News Desk would be the most apt.
Current Events is too ambiguous -
1.'current' includes the potential for covering 'what is about to happen' as whereas the page needs to be defined to cover what has happened.
2. It overlaps with an already existing page name.
3. It lacks a unique angle in the name.
4. It breaks the link with the existing template name.
5. Because of its ambiguity it may be difficult to get consensus on a rename.
6. Because of its similarity with an existing page name people may well opt to use the existing ITN acronym informally.
News Desk is far stronger as a name.
1. It is unique, with strengthens the ability to create name recognition.
2. It keeps a degree continuity with the same template name, meaning that it is more likely to get a consensus behind it.
3. It would lend itself to the creation of a template.
4. In using 'news desk' it carries a clear recognition factor: 'news desk' is a widely used term when covering news. All newspapers use the term, so again its meaning in clear. It says what it is and says by implication what it isn't.
