When repeated, an old newsboy's cry

Answer:

EXTRA

Hint:

Think of what a newspaper might add to its headline for breaking news—then say it twice.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the old newspaper vendor’s shout of "Extra! Extra!" to announce breaking news. The word "repeated" hints that the answer is a single word said twice, like the cry itself. "Old" suggests it’s a term from the past, when newsboys sold papers on street corners. The answer is simply "EXTRA," the key word in that iconic call.
