Meaning don't block time or resources to read news. Anything that actually matters you'll learn about in social settings from friends, colleagues, etc. Then, if you're actually interested, you can do your own research on a topic-by-topic basis.
Personally, I stay up-to-date through just what people are talking about online and IRL (more for local news), and from time to time, documentaries on YouTube that I find interested. Basically, outside of what people share, I don't follow any sort of media/news outlet.
While it works, I find the drawbacks is that very important news don't make it. My wife didn't know about the war in Russia. Many friends don't talk about the climate change and floods.
Unimportant news is also covered frequently - political stuff, most of it putting the blame on one group. If I hear of floods or lockdown, it's almost certainly phrased in a way that makes one party look bad. Which is probably why European hot wars don't make it to Malaysian news; there's no local politician to blame.

But that's always the case, isn't it? no matter the source, even if it's directly from an eye witness, that's what I meant when I said do research on the ones you find interesting.
It tends to slow down the news, and encourages me to go for long form content. This in turn tends to make me go for established content about older news.
It's a mix of websites and news from my social circles.
