Do you mean a subscription in the sense of something that people pay for with something lke the [Discourse Subscriptions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-subscriptions/140818)?

Yes, you can add people who paid to a group, which then controls access to the NEWS category.

You could also have them watch the category so that they were emailed/notified when something got posted in that category (which would be “subscribed” like “subscribed to a mailing list”).
