It's not supported -- you can't do this.

When the news panel was introduced this was one of the decisions made,
with the rationale that we don't want to give plugins anyway to force
news items onto our users or override the default feed. That just
opens the door for spammy plugins which would negate the whole purpose
of the news feed in the first place.
