No Idea why this is happening

I am using the 2016.1 community edition of PyCharm, and my code is exactly the same more or less. So why does this:

# Shopping List

shopping_list = []

print("What's on for today?")
print("""Enter "DONE" to stop adding your items to the list""")

while True:
    newItem = raw_input("> ")

    if newItem == 'DONE':
        break

    shopping_list.append(newItem)

# quit

print("Here is your list:")

for item in newItem:
    print(item)

give me this?

/usr/bin/python /Users/heathrobertson/Documents/Python/Treehouse/ShoppingList/ShoppingList.py What's on for today? Enter "DONE" to stop adding your items to the list

In that last for loop, don't you have to iterate over the "shopping_list" variable that has an array of every item instead of the "newItem" variable?
