News app notifications setting confused at what its supposed to do

I'm in the UK and only just got the News app with the 9.1 update.

I noticed that when I go into both the Notifications section of Settings and also Settings/News, there is notifications setting.

But I'm confused as to what its supposed to do, as I don't get notifications of new stories.

Can anyone shed some light on what the setting is supposed to do and how it works?

See the screenshots.

Ive posted this question on various other help forums and had no reply off of them either.

I filled in a feedback form to Apple and asked them too.

To me, the notifications setting should notify the user when a news story is added, that seems the logical explanation, but it isn't working in this way, basically the setting doesn't seem to work at all
