That's the worst thing you can do.

That's one of the useless things to do and a terrible waste of time. For major news, the best thing to do, which most newspapers don't want you to do is, compare reporting across newspapers and regions. It's why newspapers forced google, social media, etc to limit news to be region specific. It takes more work to find news from around the world, but you'll see how biased most news are.
Take the recent Trump-Kim meeting. The reporting from korea, singapore, china, russia, europe and the US were so different because all news exist to push an agenda. Of course this applies within the nation as well. The leftist media and foxnews covered the meeting very differently.
Most "news" is just noise. It's nonsense journalists make up to push a narrative. There are only a handful of important news items each week. It's better to focus on those than reading a useless newspaper end to end.
That's something I did in high school because I saw an ad saying it increased you SAT score. What a waste of time. There are far better ways to spend your time than reading nonsense from someone who isn't an expert in anything.
