You may have inadvertently removed it, or hidden it in a folder. Go to the home screen on your iPhone and swipe down to enter Spotlight search, then type in News. If the app is on your device you should be able to open it directly, otherwise scroll down to the results from the App Store and tap the Search in App link to locate the Apple News app so you can redownload it.
