Ask HN: How do you follow the news?

Over the past few years, I got pretty overwhelmed by the intensity and the constant news cycle, so I started checking out of it. Big filter list on social media, only one "good enough" publication if I needed some quick overview and important things surface up eventually.

Lately, I started using Perplexity Discover a bit more, and it got me curious about similar solutions to curate and summarize news based on what I find important, not what everyone is trying to push down my throat.

How do you keep yourself informed? AI curation? Trusted publications? Social media follows?

I feel we have all the bricks to have a great experience of learning about what's happening in the world, but instead we're drowning in clickbait articles, propaganda pieces, and even previously reputable publications have the quality of their work taking a steep dive.
