I feel it's a strange consumption pattern to rely on a single news source, when Google News or Apple News is a much easier way to follow a story.

It makes more sense to follow the stories you care about rather than simply the sources you trust. Even if you trusted the NYT, many of their articles aren't going to be relevance to you. It's like going back to the old school RSS model where you scroll past a bunch of articles.

I would also point out Axios, which has been praised by Sarah Sanders when she was the WH press secretary, and has an interesting way of summarizing news as digestible bullet points.

What I use to do as read through the newspaper to learn about issues and events that may not effect me personally.

Then I'd look up another source to get a counter point.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm older and more jaded, or news sources are becoming less information baring and more position pushing, but I am just cutting off my news now.

News aggregators can also just as well inform you as to whether something is bubbling into a major story. I think about any news source and whether they miss something that I want from aggregators, and the answer is often yes.
