good choice, and welcome!
„news“ is a broad term. I’d say it depends a bit on what corner of the world you’re in 😉
Personally, I’m a big fan of RSS feeds for news. If you’re on iOS, get NetNewsWire (free and perfect) and subscribe to all the news sites directly that you don’t want to miss.
Here on Mastodon, @feditips is a good account to follow. The other day they posted a whole list of news accounts, for example. I didn’t bookmark it, sadly.
