WordPress powers 29% of the internet. On WordPress.com sites, every day, over one million new articles and over two million comments are published. Some notable clients include CNN, CBS, BBC, Reuters, Sony, Fortune.com, and Volkswagen.

First off the news site you want to add must be built with wordpress. So how do you know if a site is built with wordpress? Inspect the code of website (view source) website in consideration, check for CSS file, usually called style.css and normally located in /wp-content/themes folder.
