I need to find a new way to scroll through random news as well, I used to like browsing world news and other random threads that hit the front page. Feed readers sound like something I should look into.

I think it's best to never read the news, you'll find about stuff that actually affects you naturally anyway.
Focus on communities for your hobbies and career instead.
I like to keep up to date enough on the things my government chooses to do so that I can make an informed choice the next time I vote.
Google News app, Whirlpool forums and Facebook. Reddit until recently.
Anything wrong with going to a news site directly? I find https://www.theguardian.com/au and https://www.abc.net.au/ work well for keeping on top of news but your country would surely have equivalents.
