  Don’t stick to one channel. Don’t get your news from social media, because social media is an echo chamber.

  Use an RSS feed aggregator app to consolidate boring news articles from multiple boring publications. This will give you an even spread.

  You will see the same news stories from different news outlets with different spin. You will quickly come to understand various news publishers biases and how extreme they are.

  Always go into an article with an understanding of the publishers biases that might be at play.

  If you must do the news on social thing… Only use social to discuss stories you already understand to some degree. Or as a place to research the news topic deeper.

  For the most part, just use social to hang with your communities… you know… like a social network :)
