You will have to move that functionality somewhere else, Codeigniter's architecture doesn't allow multiple controller instances in one request. You have multiple options like using a common base class, libraries, helpers and so on.

I would recommend you to create your own MY_Controller base class (see Extending Core Classes) and put your method there, like this:

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
    protected function is_logged_in() {
        // ...
    }  
}

Once you have it there you can call it like:

class AdminNews extends MY_Controller {
    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->is_logged_in();
    }
}
