Honestly you don’t need to a actively read the news to be up to date, if someone says ‘have you heard about x’ just say no and they will tell you. Now you know anything worth talking to others about

Don't keep up with news that has no impact in a week. If it is relevant, people will talk about it, so just chat to your neighbors or colleagues. Apart from weather alarms, there's nothing you'd miss out on.

Watch the financial broadcasts (CNBC, Bloomberg, etc). Stay away from the pundit stations (which is most of news). The financial networks cover what's happen, cover underlying policy, and generally stays away from advocacy.

NPR is an advocacy station too. The news curation sites also have a slant.

Morning Brew and The Skimm are two such websites that send email newsletters summarizing world events and news! Although they're both mostly catering to a U.S. audience.
