Why don't I have the new 'News' app on Mojave?

Hello! I just installed the new Mojave update, and I was under the impression that it was supposed to come with three "new" apps - Home, Stocks, and News. However, it's just finished installing and the News app seems no where to be found. Was I incorrect in assuming it was supposed to be included?

My Macbook specs:

MacOS Mojave (Version 10.14)

Macbook Air (13-inch, 2017)

Processor: 1.8GHz Intel Core i5

Memory: 8GB 1600MHz DDR3

Storage Capacity: 250.79 GB (206.27 available)

Do I have to install it on app store? (I've tried searching it up, to no avail)

I spotlight searched it, nothing there...

I looked through my apps.. Nada.

MacBook Air, macOS Mojave (10.14)

It's currently available in the US, UK and Australia. I believe you can switch your region to one of those and will see it.

You have to restart after you switch.

This didn't work in Colombia. Is there a different "workaround"? Also, do you know why this is? I bought my Mac in the US and recently moved here. A number of the features that I was shown in the "What's New in macOS Mojave" page are not available to me.

Are you suggesting appeachiates should move to Canada from New Zealand?

I don't know why it didn't work in Columbia or why it didn't work for you. Only Apple knows why the situation is what it is. I could guess but we're not supposed to speculate.
