hot tips


Explanation:
I would translate that as "Got any hot tips?" But, only if it is an informal context. Some sites have something along the lines of, "Were you there? Send us your thoughts/pictures/video."

news tips


Explanation:
If just standard matter-of-fact expression is wanted ... This is often used by the media itself for instance as a heading on their websites (urging people to send in their tips).

News Story Ideas; information for breaking news


Explanation:
Generally it is "information for breaking news" - however could also be referred to a suggesetion for a story: "News Story Idea"--

Just to give you a couple more alternatives -- even if 'news tips' would be fine in most contexts.
