Outside of tech news, I’ve been focused on only getting news that fits both of these criteria:
1) Is a primary source
2) Is news that’s actionable to me in some way

What makes news actionable you ask? Personally, I determine that by asking if that particular news can inform me for circumstances like:

- Making a financial/purchase decision
- Making a voting decision for an election
- Making a decision regarding my health/fitness

Things like that. I find that the vast majority of news isn’t actionable at all, and *at best* is just storytelling to scratch people’s curiosity itch.

At worst, it does nothing but manipulate/instill fear/misinform.
