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.

DamienSThat's fine but many organizations (and mine) are trying to get away from email. I don't get why the followed functionality which is already there can't be given priority in the news web part so news from followed sites trumps other news. If a user explicitly follows a site surely that's an indication of their interests? If not, I have no idea what the purpose of "following a site is. Currently, following has the same weight as created date which is, well, a little daft. This is probably a matter of tweaking the Graph algorithms so followed content takes precedence over everything else.
At the very least, an option to display news from followed sites should be added to the news web part. This seems like a no brainer and hard to believe Msft has missed the boat.
Microsoftmatt howell - today if you select News source = Recommended for current user, we'll pull news for the page viewer. This includes news from people you work with, people in their management chain, and news from sites you follow. It is however still ordered still in recent order (not a weighted relevance ordering).
John_Sanders Where is that "News Source" option? I'm also looking for a way for employees to pull information instead of us pushing it out to them.
