Thanks for the response.
I did that. I am seeing background task infrastructure service. Which is automatic. It says that it does as follows.
"Windows infrastructure service that controls which background tasks can run on the system."
Further how to stop that service only to my problem of news background task host using net?
background task infrastructure service is not the one.
To figure out what starts the offline news there are 4 ways:
Method 1:
To find out if news background task host is associated with service use task manager, following example shows a service, so if in this case if I want to terminate the "Intel compatibility licence service" ( expand the view ) I'll do so in services, by stopping the service.:

Method 2:
It is possible to find your news app in
task manager > start up:
Click on start up item and disable.

Method 3:
It' possible that offline news is set in Task scheduler:
Open task scheduler in
Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools
Expand task scheduler node like in image bellow, to stop an item, right click on it and stop it.

Still no luck?
Download Autoruns program from
Microsoft technet sysinternals
Use this tool for detailed view of start up items and to disable them.
