I was having this problem (iPhone 5c with iOS 10.2.1 in Italy) and Apple Support provided to me a step-by-step procedure to fix this issue:

Open Settings → General → Language & Region, switch Region to United States and confirm.
Wait for iOS to apply the change then open the Notification Center, touch the Search field, press Cancel (you don't need to type anything) and close the Notification Center.
Open Settings app → General → Language & Region, switch Region back to your country name and confirm.
Wait for iOS to apply the change then open the Notification Center, touch the Search field, press Cancel (you don't need to type anything) and close the Notification Center.
You should see the News widget again.
