'Newsticker' (news ticker) is a loanword from English and is made up of 'News' (news) and 'Ticker'. A 'ticker' was originally a device that printed information on a strip of paper.
Auf der Nachrichtenseite läuft unten ein Newsticker mit den neuesten Meldungen.
At the bottom of the news site, a news ticker is running with the latest reports.
In a news ticker, 'breaking news', 'sports results', or 'stock prices' typically 'run' or 'appear'. You can 'follow' or 'read' the news 'im Newsticker' (in the news ticker).
Die Eilmeldung über den Sturm lief sofort über den Newsticker.

To describe the place, use the preposition 'in' with the dative. To describe the channel through which a piece of news is spread, use 'über' with the accusative.

'Ticker' and 'Newsticker' can both refer to a continuously updated stream of short updates. 'Newsticker' is more specific because it is explicitly about news. 'Ticker' is more general and can also be used for sports results or stock market prices. The words can easily be confused because a news ticker is a type of ticker. If the context is clearly news, both often work similarly. If it is not only about news, 'Ticker' is more suitable.
