You can find many news texts from balanced corpora, such as BNC, ANC, ICE, Penn Treebank Project, etc.

You may also want to build up your own corpus of newspaper texts as there are so many online newspapers freely available.

For Reuters Corpus, Volume 1, English language, 1996-08-20 to 1997-08-19 was released in Nov. 2000. It is distributed on two CDs and contains about 810,000 Reuters, English Language News stories. It requires about 2.5 GB for storage of the uncompressed files.

I have it but seldom use it. Anyway, you can get a copy of Reuters Corpus free of charge at:

谢谢。我还想请教一下，怎样搜索noun+noun啊，在线搜索不行的吧。Antconc可以吗？
