Well usually, it can be called a ticker, ie if this set of news is going to appear and disappear after sometime, being replaced by another set of news, to be shown again later.
Or you can call it News at a glance as it is what you are intending here. Or you can go for some fancy headings like Today's Scoop or Bulletin Board. In the end, all this means the same thing. You just have to pick what you think is the best. I think you should go for Today's Scoop if you want it to sound a bit casual else go for Bulletin Board making it sound official but still, somewhat different from what you usually see in other sites.
You can also go for Handpicked if you are selecting the new by some category or criteria.
