Is Watching The News Considered Gossip?

Would it be a sin if people watched it since it has news of who murdered who etc...?

Not a sin. Part of being a good citizen is staying informed about issues locally and farther away. If you are sensitive, you should place a limit on how much you watch, especially when something really tragic happens like hurricanes or mass murder.

Typically the truth isn't gossip, but there are things that are private for a reason. If you are watching a show that has details about someone who is wanted for murder, that isn't gossip. If you are watching a show that shows a celebrity who got drunk at a party and made a fool of themselves, you should probably find something more productive to do with your time.
