It depends!
For IT, for example, my main sources are HN, phoronix, planetKDE and another webpage in my own language. I also read a lot of news from the POCKET articles that show up in my new tab page in Firefox.
HN (and Pocket service) provides news from all other web that I don't visit regularly but that, occasionally, do have interesting news (and not just in IT).
All the rest is trash (so, no paywalls - oh... And there's also a Firefox addon to bypass paywalls)
