The first source I would refer to for information would be The Skimm. My 8th-grade civics teacher would do weekly tests on news going on in the world and she would use The Skimm articles for extra credit questions. I like it because if you subscribe, you will get a daily email from them going over the news in the world. Additionally, it is a pretty neutral news platform that will not spin information. Altogether, I like it as a news source because it sends daily, accurate news to my email & is a neutral news source.
It isn't an amazing news source because anyone can put up any type of false information, but it is good at informing the general public of things. For that reason, I would make it my #2 news source because it's entertaining and it is good at making the public aware of world events
My third news source is CNN 10. Ironically, my 8th-grade civics teacher also had us watch 10-minute videos on world events, instead of extra-credit questions these would be the main questions. 
I do not refer to these videos much because it has been a while, but I will say it is good information and it's presented in an entertaining format. If I remember correctly, it is also pretty politically neutral and I appreciate that. Altogether, I don't default to this news source because sometimes I do not feel like watching a 10-minute video just for random news, but I do appreciate it for what it is and it's entertaining.

TED Talks can be on broad sources of information, like the geo-political world, sciences, philosophies, psychologies, etc. TED talks can be on more scholarly subjects and provide factual insight into those subjects, which offers a nice break from regular news stations where things can get spun and viewed subjectively. Altogether, TED talks are a great form of understanding things that are happening in the world and they are very visual.
My final news source would be Microsoft News. I think it is incredibly convenient, especially since whenever you open the Microsoft browser it throws news articles and videos your way which can appeal. It can be overlooked since whenever someone opens the browser they are trying to do something, probably not browse through news, but still, it can have interesting titles and topics that are informative. Altogether, Microsoft News is a good news source because it's convenient and it has some interesting articles and videos to offer about events/subjects.
