Wordpress - WP 4.4. responsive images browser choosing the "wrong" one
Concerning documentation there is this blog post on the Make Blog:
Responsive Images in WordPress 4.4
To increase the 1600px limit mentioned in the comments try this:
add_filter('max_srcset_image_width', function($max_srcset_image_width, $size_array){
return 2000;
}, 10, 2);
Finally as already mentioned you should fix your calls to add_image_size
add_image_size('news-large', 1024, false);
needs to be
add_image_size('news-large', 1024, 0, false);
