You don't need to use an extension for this. Just use page TSconfig for 
it. Add the following line to the page TSconfig of the news sysfolder(s):

TCAdefaults.tt_news {
	// Set the default category to cat with id 4
	// Make sure that the categoryfield is visible to the user, 			// 
otherwise it won't be set
	category = 4
}

// Also handy:

// Single pid voor preview
// This enables previewing of news with the "save and preview" button.
tx_ttnews.singlePid = 38

// Clear cache of news overview and single view
// so newsitems will be visible in FE
TCEMAIN.clearCacheCmd = 33,38

Hope this helps.
