Is it correct grammar to say these are good news?

No, it's not grammatically correct to say "these are good news."

Here's why:

* "News" is an uncountable noun. This means it doesn't have a plural form. You wouldn't say "two news," you'd say "two pieces of news."

* "Good" is an adjective, and adjectives modify nouns. You can't directly say "good news" because "good" doesn't have a plural form to match "news."

Here's how to correct it:

* "This is good news." (If you're referring to one piece of news)

* "These are good pieces of news." (If you're referring to multiple pieces of news)

* "This is great news." (Alternatively, you can use a different adjective like "great" or "wonderful.")
