So the intent of the codes is probably that the link context tells you that the archive link takes you to the specified date in the archive. The definition of "programmatically determined link context" is used in success criterion 2.4.4 - Link Purpose (In Context). It would be nice to have the title of the news item as part of the link context, but that depends on screen reader support for the title attribute (not element) on links.
