You do get alerts in V2, it is just less effective as before April change. At this point, best hope for message is transition to v3 where improvements have been made.

But a V3 news message will only reach V3 users, is that still correct?

I don't think that is the case. A v3 News message should go to the messages of all members. In practice? I don't know.

What if an admin in V2 posts the news, will all members get the news in the form of a message?
Thank you chess.com!!!
Posted a news item for an upcoming match a little over an hour ago and already saw the roster jump up by several members!
Thanks for listening chess.com!
Thanks for that
I have tried too to be banned (old functionality) or muted (new functionality) beeing caught by spam filter. I think quota for spam is higher for premium members? After Shaun told me to customize each meassage (I include name or username) I no longer get caught even if I send 100 PMs right after each other. I do think, however, that news is the right way to do this and certainly less time consuming for the admin?
I do this for my own teams which has infrequent open matches (when I have time). For teams like "MONIKA" and others where I am co-admin, I look forward to switch to V3 so news will be more effective again. These teams have decided not to participate in open matches (with exception of TMCL) until news are working effectivly again.
I do think news alerts need to be exempt from "ignore all" if we wish them to be as effective as pre April news functionality. I think members, should open a news item before the alert goes away or take individual action (just like a friend's request).
