Apple News App/contemporary news mediums

So I need some help on how to check sources and make sense of the overall media landscape. The Apple news app looks like a useful app since it can compile many different publishers, however I want to know the limitations this app has so that I can fill the gaps elsewhere. Also as a general question, what does everyone here keep an eye on to keep tabs on the happenings of the world? What kinds of apps/websites/browser features do you use to make your life easier as far as reading and interpreting different news sources? And general tips on how/when to check sources would help 🙏🏽
