It depends in what hierarchy you want it.

In the Big Six (sci.*, rec.*, misc.* etc) you need to submit a
proposal and have it voted on.

In alt.* you can create it yourself, by sending a specially crafted
control message, though it is recommended ti discuss it first on
alt.config.

You also need to run "newsgroup moderation software" (search for it).

Near the bottom of this page are three links regarding moderated newsgroups.
