Problem
Workflow for the News module is enabled in the application web.config but there isn't a way you can set Approve and Publish permissions for the module:

No Approve/Publish permissions

The Approve, Decline and Publish buttons are disabled for all users except administrators:

Approve and Decline buttons are disabled

Solution
The Approve/Decline and Publish permissions and buttons are just disabled by default as they only make sense when content workflow is enabled.
To enable them, open the ~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/News/ControlPanelPermissions.ascx template and uncomment the code marked as "Uncomment this block when using workflow".

The result should look like this:

Approve and Publish permissions enabled

The ControlPanelPermissions.ascx template for the other modules is located in the following folders:
~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/Generic_Content/
~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/Blogs/
~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/Events/
~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/Forums/
