Modern SharePoint News Subscription
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.

Fromelard HI Fabrice - do you know if this is still the case?
SarahBeattie While you can still use alerts, you don’t have to. When a user follows a site (a modern site, not a subsite), and you have deployed Viva Connections to bring your intranet into Teams, people who have followed the site get an activity notification in Teams when news from that site is published. The activity ping is now in mobile and desktop (used to just be mobile).
- I know this question is a little old, but I have the same question/problem, and I don't understand the solution.
I manage an unrelated enterprise financial application. We had a SharePoint site for our users, and we used to post announcements, which were archived there for future reference, and the users received alerts. It worked quite well.
Now with this new News App, still no subscriptions or alerts here in July 2019.
And I don't understand any of the solutions in this thread.
I'm not liking this new SharePoint. I feel like I'm missing something....I don't see an alert option when I do a search.
Thanks for the idea Fabrice, just used it to satisfy users wanting to setup alerts for all news articles so they can monitor what's going on.You can probably flag it as best response :)

- Can’t. Not my post ;)
