Catharine Cellier-Smart
: doesn't sound very English, and IMO newsflashes are covered by "les flashs info"

News recap(s)
Provided this is actually referring to a summarizing of today's news on a radio or on tv and what not.
If this is referring to a newspaper sign, my suggestion would be "newspaper outlet".

"News recap" is an extremely common term, it is used in pretty much every form of media on a regular basis. A simple Google search of the term will show you this.

news points
Or, news in brief. If you Google, you will find many sites with newspoints in their URL; not to mention its usage within the site!
Discussion
Look at the other items on the list: online industry-specific journals; analyses/features/editorials; newsflashes/news feed; (online) newsletters.
To my mind, the "points d'infos" give you the whole article rather than just the headline, but without being an editorial.
It seems a little redundant to talk about both newsflashes and news recaps in the same thing...
