I interpreted part of your comment as saying that Google ngram shows news-teller is more common than herald.
I checked newsteller, news teller, news-teller, and herald. Looks like herald is roughly 50,000 times more common.

I was talking about the Google's Books Ngram, but according to even https://ngrams.org/ngram-viewer.html, that is not true: https://i.imgur.com/zlss0Ib.png.
Regardless, this is an irrelevant detail to my comment, so comparing frequencies is pointless.
