The LaTeX family name of Bitstream's font family News Gothic
is "bng".  Thus, the command

  \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{bng}

makes LaTeX use Bitstream News Gothic as the default sans 
serif font family.

|  Notice that News Gothic is supported with T1 (european)
|  and TS1 (textcompanion) encoding only, so you need to
|  issue the commands
|
|    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
|    \usepackage{textcomp}
|
|  in the document preamble.  The obsolete OT1 encoding,
|  which is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_
|  supported.
