Hi Denis, The specific feature around Organisational News, flagging a news source as authoritative, is still forthcoming. Quite a few updates to existing web parts last week. I expect for Targeted Release at least we’ll see the introduction you need this or next month.

I have not seen this feature appear but I also do not know where to look as no documentation seems to have been prepared.

The only thing I keep seeing in the articles is 'Deem specific sites as “organizational news sources” 'but where to do that? I assume somewhere in the new SharePoint Admin center but not sure if this would be a specific section or just an option in the site collection settings?

I think your assumption is correct.
Deem the site as a organisation news source in the new SharePoint Admin portal, however on my tenant this isn't available yet. I guess it's not released yet

  Roadmap now says this is launched, but still no options to deem specific sites as main news sites.

    Microsoft has clarified to me that the roadmap for SharePoint is not up to date and has referred this to the right owner to correct.
