Shepherds were around Bethlehem watching their flocks.The wise men were from the far east some think they were Kings and some say they were astrologers and or scientists. They took much longer to reach Jesus, and he was almost certainly not newborn by that time, despite the depictions by artists etc. The shepherds were able to see the newborn Jesus because they were in the region.

Who was the first to hear the good news of Jesus' birth?

The Bible doesn't specifically say who, but the first reported people to know of it were the shepherds in the nearby fields. Not having been recorded in scripture who was first other than the shepherds. It is most likely that the Wise men who came to see the Christ heard of His birth before the shepherds. The shepherds lived nearby, while the Wise men had some distance to travel.
