Hey there VeeBerk,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Thanks so much for your question. It appears to revolve around subscription options for Apple News+. I'd be glad to provide you with a little clarity and maybe even a few ideas.
Currently, Apple News+ runs on a monthly recurring subscription, so no longer term subscription, such as yearly, is available. What you might consider doing is purchasing a gift card for that person for the estimated amount of the yearly subscription, which they can add to their App Store account. The subscription amount would be deducted every month throughout the year for as long as the credit from the gift card was present. Gift cards are available in several denominations and you can learn more at the Gift Cards page.
If you do choose the gift card path, you can select to have it sent by mail or email. Do keep in mind that the balance can only be applied to accounts that are set to the same region where the gift card was purchased. Note that there are 2 different types of Apple gift cards, App Store & iTunes gift cards and Apple Store gift cards. For your purposes, you'd want to select an App Store & iTunes gift card.
Best Regards.
