That sounds like a task for AUTOLOAD. Consider:

use strict;
use warnings;

package news;

my %news_sites = (
    bbc     => 'www.bbc.com',
    voanews => 'www.voanews.com',
    #more websites#
);


sub new {
    ...
}


sub AUTOLOAD {
    my ($base, $site) = $news::AUTOLOAD =~ /::(\w+)_(\w+)/;

    return '' if $base ne 'get_from' || ! exists $news_sites{$site};

    my $res = "got from $news_sites{$site}\n"; # or appropriate proces
+sing
    return $res;
}


package main;

print news::get_from_bbc();

Prints:

got from www.bbc.com
