I subscribe to Financial Times for general news, and I read it in an RSS reader (https://sumi.news) which also aggregates updates from other sites I'm interested in (like HN).

Perhaps not specifically what you're looking for, but I've always found Wikipedia's current events portal to be a good source for info on major events.
Have been using Daily Rotation for years which allows choices of sites to be regularly presented, no comments. https://www.dailyrotation.com/
