I‘m not sure what you mean? The news is what is causing change to her. She is being affected by the news.

" Affect means to produce a change or influence something, as in 'The weather affects my mood.' It can also refer to someone's emotional state, as in 'She was deeply affected by the news.'
Effect, on the other hand, refers to the result or outcome of an action or event, as in 'The effect of the medicine was immediate.' It can also be used to describe a particular impression or atmosphere, as in 'The movie had a spooky effect.' "
