The same way as always. If the news is important enough, you will get it by word of mouth.

I was once told (30-40 years ago), "Don't bother listening/watching the news on radio/TV. It only wastes your precious time." And the next sentence was "If the news is important enough, you will hear about it almost immediately, one way or another."

I don't ever bother with the news, but I heard about Trump's shooting literally within minutes of it happening.
