Stay away (as much as possible) from assigning individual permissions. If you have 1 or 2 users that "might" be OK, but still.

Why are you using a classic site? Can you not use a Communication site & hubsites?

Do you have an obvious way of giving specific users "add" permissions to the newsfeed in SharePoint Intranet without giving them the ability to add/edit web pages? I've managed to get close but the users receive errors when trying to add news. The error message reads "Changes not saved: We're sorry, we encountered an unexpected error. Please refresh the page and try again."

TazIT News pages in SharePoint are normal site pages only with some flags (promoted state) set to some specific value.
So, if you want to grant access to create news pages in site, you are granting access to create/edit site pages in SharePoint site. You cannot differentiate the permissions using SharePoint out of the box features.
