Your news journey is similar to my own. Twitter News was my first go-to in the morning until about mid-November when it was still showing pre-election stories and a rapidly aging hurricane season update for days in a row. Apple News is $9.99 a month but worth it to me for the range of access. It seems to algorithmically tailor content to your preferences over time. "Subscribe" to a few of the magazines at the News (second option on the bottom menu on iPhones) and that will start to steer daily topics in their direction.
In the everything-old-is-new-again department, there's revisiting Google Alerts and really putting filters to work on your email in-box.
And just yesterday I finally deleted the Twitter app from my mobile and signed up for the Bluesky waitlist. But I already know I won't devote too much time to it should the invite come. This whole experience has shifted my preferences back to longform content.
