To see if Apple News is restricted go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps and check if News is enabled. If this doesn’t work then try disable Screen Time.


You can also check Settings > General > VPN & Device Management to see if there are any profiles that are restricting you from accessing News.
