I have a news section in my app. How can I tell users to check the app for new content when push notifications apparently are not an option?

Do you only want to notify when there is new content or do you want to do it periodically? Where would these notifications go? To the users’ emails?

Ideally something would pop up on the user’s phone indicating there’s new content like a banner or a counter on the app icon. Or maybe a text message?
