How does one become a "well-informed person" nowadays?

I was taught to read multiple news sources as a start, but with the WSJ and NYT virtually unreliable, quite frankly I don't know what to do other than rely on Twitter and do my best to separate facts from psyops.

What is the alternative?

Digital Tinker. Dad. I like to collect jpegs and want to see more people enjoy digital assets. https://nf.td/semui

I still use legacy media as a source of what’s going on, but then use social media as a way to independently verify reporting. NYT says “world on fire” but then look to see if the rest of the world is saying the same.
