Editor:
1) I see "old news" as different from the sense we already have, so I wouldn't insert it between "old anecdote" and "stories passed on from former times", which are more or less synonymous with each other.

2) I didn't see usage of 旧闻 similar to "old news" in the colloquial sense, as in
A: "Whoa, did you hear that Jake and Jenny are going out?"
B: "Yeah, dude, that's such old news! Where have you been?"

But I did find examples where 旧闻 could be defined as "outdated news".
E.g.「在這個分秒必爭的時代,三個鐘頭才能傳抵國外的訊息,恐怕早就成了舊聞,甚至影響決策效率」,羅益強說。
