My gigantic list of RSS feeds was painstakingly built by going to the Wikipedia article of the list of newspapers and news agencies in each country. That's a good place to start collecting the sources that interest you.

I use several sources in the hopes of getting a more complete picture. I sometimes select categories like "Europe" on these sites but here are the ones I have bookmarked and use the most. I try to use mostly reliable sources.
I'd add (in no particular order) Al Jazeera, DW (Deutsche Welle) Le Monde, Financial Times.
I was also taught to read the same article from 2 somewhat opposing sources, that way you'll like find the truth in the middle somewhere.
World: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events
Italy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_in_Italy
You can subscribe with for example rss (1)
There actually doesn't appear to be a way to make a portal into an RSS feed
I once had the Wikipedia current events in my RSS reader, but removed it during a cleanup last year. So there is a way to get it as a feed
I found a third party that did it, but with Wikipedia's tools there doesn't seem to be. If you know a way please drop the link.
I just went into my RSS reader and searched for "Wikipedia current events" and clicked subscribe.
Like I said, there's a third part option. But not through Wikipedia itself.
Check BBC. They have pretty cood coverage of global news. Other might be Deutsche Welle, which despite the name is in English.
The best option would be to follow the news in Italian if at all possible. I actively follow the news in four languages and it really helps to show how differently they report on the same events. If you ever wonder why, for example, Sweden, Germany and USA have so different opinions on Palestine vs. Israel, just checking how their respective medias report about it in their own languages makes it clearer.
I have dual American/Italian citizenship, so I'd like to keep up to date with Italian + EU current events. All I can find are the most major national scandals, Prime Ministers talking about Trump, and the results of ~~soccer~~ football matches.
Are you subscribed to [email protected] and, if it's your cup of tea, [email protected]?
I mean, maybe that's what you're complaining about...
Can't speak from a non-Americacentric POV, but usually I find that just by being online I somehow am able to find out a lot about what's going on in some places because of what I watch on yt. That, and communities here.
Some weird new law in Japan censoring Mangaka from creating what they want because some Japanese politician apparently hates Japanese culture that isn't PG at worst? Has floated to me due to a channel I check up on in Newpipe.
The whole thing about Italy literally giving big corporations the right to decide what is and is not allowed on Italian Internet and forcing ISPs to block them effective immediately? First heard about it from the piracy(at)Lemmy(dot)dbzer0(dot)com community, when someone posted a link to a TorrentFreak article.
Things randomly drift to me because of how I view and consume media.
It’s been years since I spoke italian, but I used to love listening to the news here:
This is America. We don't HAVE other countries.
