As it feels increasingly important to keep up to date on the news be it globally or back home, I thought I would throw out this question as I am quite ignorant when it comes to staying up to date.

The last time I read a paper was The Private Eye in early Jan and before that, I must say I never really tried to find a way to consume the news. So let me hear your preferred method.

Several news apps (guardian, BBC, ground news mostly) on my phone with notifications enabled (but set to "silent", so I only see them if I open my notification drawer)

Lemmy is a pretty big contributor these days too

YouTube seems to recommend news and news adjacent videos to me pretty regularly too, I go for that every now and again, particularly James O'Brien stuff on LBC is generally pretty illuminating for getting a feel of how any given story is being received by the general public.
