RSS feeds is probably what you are looking for, create a group of your favorite news sources, most of the sites have them. I like feeder browser addon for Firefox.
Why not just read the AP's front page or Reuters? They are about as unbiased as your going to get. There's also BBC and PBS.
No lie though, I miss Reddit.
Me too. Stay strong.
The rss links load old content..

AP and Reuters are unbiased, but that's because they are news agencies. They are not journalistic media, which means they often don't provide context to what they talk about (which is only fine if you already know the topic) and you won't find any in-depth stories, investigative journalism, explainers, etc
Apnews.com is their journalistic side.
Axios is great too
I follow readtangle.com for US news (and highly recommend it) and they recommend dailychatter.com for world news.
I enjoy phys.org
RSS readers are the best. You can install any "dumb" RSS reader or use one that also suggests sources by topic, such as Inoreader (my personal choice) or Feedly
EDIT for clarity: Feedly and Inoreader are cloud-based, meaning that everything is synced between devices. Inoreader is based in Europe, Feedly in the US.
As a German, I'll point to state media, cooperations, and EN target.
- dw.com EN news/international target
- 3sat.de and arte.tv for great documentaries (channels are cooperations between EU countries)
- Tagesschau for "classic" news
- various programmes of various state channels
Man, keep to the minimum amount of news and I think you'll be happier in life.
That said, I'm not sure if you've considered podcasts to get news in a controlled dose? PBS news, BBC World etc. They usually have daily episodes available in various lengths.
