Maybe not the answer you are looking for, but I mostly ignore news as broadcast on social media. I have a personal list of RSS feeds that I depend on for getting news.
Being able to quickly go through a list of headlines and view what interests you might be one way of being generally informed about what is happening without feeling overwhelmed.
