SEO newbie here,

I have a news section on my front page that essentially reads off another sites feed (example.com/feed/) and posts direct links to each article back to that site. Pretty much a mini RSS reader with one subscription.

Will I get penalizing for duplicate content even if I link back?

My question is similar to this: Will content from my site's RSS feed that is published on other sites be considered duplicate content by search engines? only that it is the other way around.

I don't think it is a case that every site that re-publishes content from other sources automatically gets a penalty. It depends on what value your page has overall. For example, if your page had lots of exclusive/must read content that was exclusive to your domain and also a news feed section that pointed to other sources then that could be quite useful, and linking out to others is good as well - if good for your visitors.

Yes. Duplicate content is duplicate content. You're not adding any value to Google's index by republishing content already found elsewhere. That's low quality content in Google's eyes and exactly what they don't want. If you're going to do this you would be best served blocking these pages from being crawled and indexed.
