Is there an option to make a specific member or group with admin rights to be followed by all members?

I want all members to be informed of anything that is posted by a news editor.

I think there was an option during first setup but I had no use for it then. I haven't found a way now.

Sorry, this is not possible in the default follow system. Everything is by manual opt-in. 

It's not what you're looking for, but this might be useful.
