Be sure your pages are not in draft mode and you have effectively publish them to a mayor version

Yes If i put more text in the the page and publish it then that shows up just fine, just not the News.  On another note when they edit the page or create a new page, they don't have the option for the news web part or any of the bottom half of the web parts.  So that's probably the issue, just can't find anything on it.

    Hi Jason,

     

    Is your tenant opts in to First Release? The flight for news feature is only on for First Release tenants. If your tenant is in FR, everyone in your tenant should see the news web part; if not in FR, no one should see the news web part. I am trying to see why you but not others see it.

      To add to Emma's comment, News is also shipped to FR users. So if you are an FR user, but others in your tenant are not and the tenant is not FR tenant, they won't see News, since it's not flighted to them.
