Audience Targeting for a newsfeed in SharePoint Online?

I need to be able to implement a newsfeed where the user is able to select a target audience when they publish a news article, since only certain people need visibility for different types of news.

 

I'm really struggling with how to do this in SharePoint Online. Everywhere I read online seems to mention content query web parts, but in SPO I can't even see an 'insert > web part' menu when I edit a page. It seems like so much of the functionality from previous SharePoint versions is just gone in the modern interface.

 

Does anyone know how I can do this?

 

Thanks

    And by "newsfeed" we hope you don't literally mean Newsfeed, the essentially deprecated social feature launched in SP2013/SPOnline.

    This will sort of help, I think:

    (It doesn't cover audiences as such - but it does cover the ability to set a property on a page / news article, and then display articles filtered based on that property)
