I installed NOS's (the Dutch public broadcaster's) app on my phone and turned on push notifications. This way I get informed about important news, but can easily avoid everything else.

Why don't you just travel in time and get the news from the future?

Sorry you got downvoted, I thought it was a funny joke.

(Joke explanation: my username is Dutch for 'time traveller'.)

It's just internet points :-) I knew most wouldn't get the joke, but that was part of the joke.

Just read Lemonde Diplomatique

Cut NYT, CNN, The Guardian and all the rest, you'll be happier and will be better informed

I'm extremely skeptical of any suggestion to get your news from only one source, what do you think makes that source different?

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ve been looking for long form news.

On the contrary your whole goal should be to avoid the exceptions.
