This. I’ve been doing the same for over 10 years. No news papers, and TV, and it’s been wonderful.
I’ve regressed a bit with news subreddits under 30 minutes a day, and will read links from friends, but I’ve found that it’s mostly propaganda.

Most “news” is either PR or propaganda. So is “your duty” to keep consuming it.
Side note: I buy all the Australian newspapers during the Christmas holiday and force myself to go through it, and it’s always a reminder how it’s all a waste of time.
