What I'm using currently for news: <https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/114356066459105122>

(Own tool, local-only, inquire if you're interested, email in profile.)

Source currently is CNN, which really isn't a particularly good news source or article selection. I'm working on a version based on The Guardian's RSS feeds.

I find the result far more readable and calming than any current online news presentation.

Starting point was CNN's "lite" page, which turns out to be unordered headlines. First cut organised those heads by section, the link above adds lede lines to those stories, with more prominence and significance to earlier stories and selected sections, less to the fluff bits (sport, entertainment, food, style, etc.).
