You can use the search result alert system.
Prepare a search result page using the basic built-in tenant resultset and apply the additional filter into.
The result webpart can give you the option of the "Alert Me" at the bottom of the page, and that one will allow the user to subscribe the news associated.
This option is only a work around, the MS official positioning is to start with the "SharePoint" Home page of the tenant which is collecting the news published across the tenant on which you have the permission to read.

You would have to use flow to do it, but I am now using subsites for news too that rollup, so it's not really an option. They are working on that last I heard, but we are probably looking at this summer or after ignite to hope for anything like that built in. Until then, really doing a flow is the only way on your pages list where your news goes. You can filter based on that promoted state = 2.
Maybe even create a subscribe list and use that for recipients that get that alert so you can build out just one flow for the notifications and just have users sign up for a list.

Notifications and subscriptions to SharePoint news are coming, no ETA yet AFAIK
