Justice Wargrave went to the island as part of a plan to carry out a series of murders and prove his own intellectual superiority by committing the perfect crime. He wanted to manipulate the situation and create a scenario where he could carry out his plan without being caught.
There's many things you could mean by news; at the end with his bottle note, you could mean he thought it was news because it was a cold-blooded, bone-chilling, edge of seat crime that wasn't easily committed those days(or now), and it was thrilling to hear of such a thing to people not on the island(VERY lucky people). He knew it would make him go down in criminal history with the police, and murder history all over the world.
By context, I can tell that much. If you mean the beginning, where they say that rich lady bought it, I think everyone thought it was news that a rich lady superstar like her would buy such a ratty island.
