This Just In !!!

Many news aritcles titles starts with this phrase:

This Just In: Britney Spears Lip-Syncs! - The Hollywood Gossip

This Just In: Cell Phones Change Your Brain

The pilot's plot leads them in a direction where "this just in" becomes an obvious sexual metaphor—some of it is funny, but there's just too much.

What does it mean? This [news] Just [came] in?

Hi,

Yes, this news item just arrived in our office.

Today the phrase is a little joke, but years ago (eg the 1930s/40s ?) it was used seriously.
