If a news reader is expected to load (up or down) a feed to/from another
source or device to share it or read it remotely, then the BlueTooth device
may well just be a PDA, an iPhone, iPod Touch, or other product that can
handle the newsreader's feed. {Input to a client from a portable device, if
adding content to the news reader feed, may mean a bluetooth device
could be required in the absence of other products...}
So, there is a possibility this reference is to a second item outside of the
computer that could load the newsfeed from the computer & use it there.
Could it be you have a product better intended for use with a bluetooth
enabled peripheral or portable device? This is a question for any support
the software company may be able to provide. If there is a downloadable
manual or other instructions or help forums dedicated to their software
then, that may be the more likely place to ask such a question.
Depending on what kind of newsfeed service (and content you seek) there
are more than two compatible with Mac OS X. Of those for Windows, the
Palm and other devices may be supported, so they'd be bluetooth modules.
A computer enabled with built-in bluetooth support could share or link to
another that may not have a connection to the reader's data flow otherwise.
And beyond this vague and general posturing, outside of what I have read,
I am unfamiliar with this, personally. You may have to look through the other
Apple Discussion forum topic titles to see if a different one may be more
suitable for a refined inquiry about how to use these news readers with the
kind of product(s) you have and want to use them through.
You do not need a bluetooth product to use the paid services, for the most
part. They can be used through a browser or email client. See Mozilla's
Thunderbird, among others; and read the related topics on their web page.
And the singular link in my above post, is for a cross-platform newsreader.
That is a new one. It may not be supported by Panther 10.3.9, so that is
a limitation on your hardware - if you find their software needs 10.5 & later.
Is this something you could use, if not for running Panther 10.3.9?
A cross-platform full-auto newsreader:

(These usually require a monthly in order to get full content + shareware.)
This item itself is freeware: MT-NewsWatcher 3.5.2 (of those who are free,
their content feed may have a cost to subscribe in order to get it reliably.)

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
