I’m currently evaluating Kagi News. They have an RSS feed for each category, so you can define what you want to get news about. It merges the same news from multiple sources into one and gives a nice overview with links to all sources.

And it only updates once a day which simulates getting a classic newspaper. So you don’t end up checking your newsreader all day long.

For my daily bitter pill of updates from Burgerland, I get the WTFJHT email. When I'm really on the ball, I skim the Wikipedia current events page and read up on anything I don't recognise.

If you aren’t just looking for “news of the day”, The Ferret is a good source for Scotland-based investigative journalism.

I don't.

Gosh, quite a varied picture from me: RSS feeds via a self-hosted Miniflux instance. Mostly get defense related updates here. Paid subscription to a couple of defense insider blogs too, which come through via RSS.

Apple News for the day to day - my wife subscribes so have a subscription through our family account.

Jyllands-Posten (subscription) & DR, SVT, NRK for Scandinavian news. BBC and Guardian (which I used to pay for, but have stopped) for U.K. news.
