The news that I contact him about is not right.
Berita = news
bahwa = "that"
aku mengontak dia = i contact him
bahwa (aku mengontak dia) = that I contact him
(Berita bahwa (aku mengontak dia)) itu = (the news that I contact him about,) it/that
(itu) tidak benar = (it/that) is not right
( (Berita bahwa (aku mengontak dia) ) itu) tidak benar = ( (the news that i contact him about,) it) is not right.
Adjustment for natural english: the news that I contact him about is not right.

I do not understand why we use 'mengontak' instead of 'mengontakkan' here. I understand that me-X-kan is used when the verb requires an object (in this case, 'him').
