The first part of staying informed is figuring out what you want to stay informed about.
Complete the sentence:
"I want to stay informed about X so that I can do Y. "
It doesn't matter what X and Y are. You will never be informed by just sampling random information.
You can't be informed about everything in the world, and you can't achieve your goal unless you articulate it.
Media companies can't tell you what X and Y are.
What do you care about and what impact do you want to have, on yourself or on the world.
Once you figure out your goal it is relatively easy to find high quality information.
