Does AEM support CMS feature? Editor can author the article and news on AEM and then provide web service interface to the external application. The article and news won't be shown on the web site via AEM. It will be shown by third-party system.

Before you try to implement the server-side of a webservice (not a webservice client) into AEM, try the default REST interface. It's much more convenient.

At the core CQ is definitely a CMS tool as it supports content storage, version control, access control and workflows.

But an Enterprise CMS is more than that. They manage information(content(word docs, pdfs, images etc) + metadata)
through 1)information capture (through scanning, email, manual input, or xml messages)
2) transformation(rendition, extraction, create new content, new format, indexing etc)
3) BPM (workflows - user input, edit, review, collab, publish etc) &
4) finally depending on regulatory & compliance needs convert it records, freeze & digital shredding

AEM supports using 3rd party data . We have community articles that talk about pulling in 3rd party data. See this one for web services using SOAP/WSDL:

See this article to learn how to pull in 3rd party Restful web service data:

Basically - when you want to pull in 3rd party data into AEM, create a service using OSGi bundle as shown in these articles. 

Hope this helps.
