Apple News Plus Ipad

If you want Apple News, you need at least iOS 10. If you want Apple News+ you need iOS 12.2 or higher. If your iPad is stuck at iOS 10, you must have a 4th generation iPad, which cannot be updated further than iOS 10.3.3, so Apple News+ will never be an available option on that device. Apple News could be an option if you are in a country where Apple News is Supported.

It is available in the following countries:

United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. 

For a device which is eligible for News+ and you are located in a country where it is available, it is a paid subscription, which costs $9.99/month.

This is how you go about getting it if it is applicable to you.

1. Open up the Apple News App.
2. Tap on the “News+” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Tap on “Get Started.”
4. Choose “Try It Free” to initiate a trial subscription. You’ll be charged $9.99 per month when the 30-day trial period ends.
5. Confirm your payment with Face ID or Touch ID.

The Apple News app description says IOS 10 is needed. You're good there, try asking Siri to open it.
