A question to native English speakers:

In search of an expression that is used for 'news' that appears to have been news quite a long time ago, I have found the expression "recycling old news" on the internet. Is this the only expression for this type of news?

The type of news I'm referring to is the news that is publicized tactically asif it is really new. And only after some research it is discovered that it is not news at all. As to my knowledge there has been a topic here involving this type of news.

I need this info for a blog on my Dutch weblog.
Groet,
