$news_cats   = get_categories("parent=$news_cat_ID");
$news_query  = new WP_Query();

foreach ($news_cats as $news_cat):
?>

<h2><?php echo esc_html($news_cat->name); ?></h2>

<?php $news_query->query('posts_per_page=1&cat=' . $news_cat->term_id); ?>
<?php if ($news_query->have_posts()): $news_query->the_post(); ?>

        <div class="post">
            <?php the_title(); ?>
            <!-- do whatever you else you want that you can do in a normal loop -->
        </div>  

<?php endif; ?>
