Well, in theory social media platforms could be good. The idea is solid - you follow trustworthy people, they post valuable information, you see it.

I think for example journa.host is an interesting experiment in making social media actually valuable - everyone there is a confirmed journalist of some sort.

Of course, it can never be perfect. But it allows for greater variety of content: I often find myself reading just two or three newspapers regularly, and in the end social media posts are useful supplement that gives me stories I might not otherwise see elsewhere. That said, I have a pretty strictly curated Mastodon feed.
