Here are a few recent ones from Scientific American.

There are plenty of others from Scientific American and from other magazines, you just need to have a more specific search than just "chemistry news" or something of the like.

i actually already checked those but the article is supposed to have at least 3 compounds(not elements)

3 compounds in one article in a news story? Are you sure you've understood your assignment correctly?

How long ago was that article on pharmaceuticals contaminating water supplies? That's about the only story I can think of that might suit those criteria, but I think it's been longer than a month (then again, maybe there's some source that was having a slow news day the past month and carried the story late).
