Rather than doing a lengthy safe mode I just signed in as guest and News works fine - which news preferences do I need to delete on my side to do a clean sweep? I understand one cannot uninstall News...
Boot into Safe Mode (Use Safe Mode to isoloate issues with your Mac and Playing Safe: what does Safe Mode do?) and try opening the sidebar from there. Also try the View menu to open the sidebar. Reboot normally and try again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.
I have no idea. Use Find Any File to search for any files with News in the file name. . For example you'd do the following search:
Name contains news
Names ends with .pilist

However, damaged cache files could be the problem and a Safe Mode boot would tell you if that's the case.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.
