OK, to get it to work I did this:

1. Add template path as you suggest
2. Duplicate the Site1_App_Base config & setup in a Site1_App_NewsSite class 
which extends Vendor_App_News.

It then works but then site specific setup & config which should be done in 
Site1_App_Base has to be duplicated, not good, must be another way. :-(
