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.

MicrosoftMatt Janssen - When someone posts news today, people with the SharePoint mobile app, that are "working with" the author (based on the Microsoft graph) will be notified of that post. If you're a manager, peopple in your management chain also get notified. Similarly if the manager of someone you work with posts news, you'll see that too. We're constantly trying to improve our notification system and model, so feedback is always welcome.

Some examples of recent internal explorations are:
- Adding followed sites as a signal that you want to get notified of ANY news posted on a particular site (this seems to be successful so far in our experimentation internally at Microsoft).
- Falling back to an email notification, if the "should be" notified people the author works with (based on the graph), don't have the SharePoint mobile app installed.
- Automatic news digests of news in your personalized feed on SharePoint home, if you haven't visited sp home or mobile within a certain period of time.
Would love to hear your thoughts on these and other scenarios to help you adopt SharePoint news.

John_Sanders RE: Your comment about "adding followed sites as a signal" - I'd imagine that already is a Graph signal (otherwise what is it for?), yet there's no way yet to utilize it to "personalize" news feeds. The ability to serve up news ONLY from sites people are following would seem an obvious option, but there's no way to do it. Is that something that's planned?
