Perhaps like this:

regression=# create schema news;
CREATE SCHEMA
regression=# show search_path;
search_path
----------------
"$user",public
(1 row)

regression=# select set_config('search_path', current_setting('search_path') || ',' || quote_ident('news'), false);
set_config
---------------------
"$user",public,news
(1 row)

regression=# show search_path;
search_path
---------------------
"$user",public,news
(1 row)

regression=#
