In my eyes, asking:
Best social media platform for news
Is like asking ‘best fast food restaurant in dieting’
Privacy aside, social media is a pretty poor way to consume news. I’d suggest looking into alternative ways to get better quality news. If the thing you like about social media is that its ‘easy’ / takes no effort and news come to you rather than having to seek them out than there are a couple alternatives that might work for you.
- As has already been mentioned. Setting up an RSS feed is a good solution that is no-effort once set up.
- Podcasts. Same concept as RSS Feeds but audio. FInd a few decent sources, subscribe, listen.
- Anything else where the incentives of the app or service are better aligned with your own incentives (in this case becoming better informed).
