These days, the best source for my news is a handful of high-quality news, current events, interview, and talk podcasts. Big upsides include: - being able to listen at faster than 1x speed - show notes for further investigation - facts and opinions from a variety of perspectives - custom amounts of information versus entertainment that I can tweak based on my mood and available attention - barely any ads... sometimes none - it's RSS feeds under the hood, so I can easily go back and find things I want to share again, and I can defer certain content without it scrolling off into the facebook void - my podcast app (probably, at least for now) doesn't know my personal info, friends list, employer, etc.
