Yeah, but you could use the profile to put them somewhere else, and cron them out of existence as needed. You don't even need a separate profile to do that - if you set your default profile to create subdirectories based on channel, for example, then it's easy to have a scheduled job just look into that folder for a particular title string ("NL1-Niuews" or however the programme is named) and delete them based on file timestamp or the date/time embedded in the file name.
Using a separate profile does mean that you can clear out the news recording records every 24 hours, and then deleting the files won't cause error entries in the "Failed Recordings" tab. Your default recording profile records could then stick around for 30 days or however long you want to keep the entries.
If you wanted to be really brutal, you could probably use the same cron job to delete the DVR logs associated with the old news programmes, and then restart tvheadend so it forgets about them totally.
