Not a complete solution to your problem, but the New York Times at least offers different RSS feeds for different sections.

So you can have a different feed for Science and Technology, and one for Australia, and one for New York. By not using the front page firehose, you can keep the number of inbound articles to a more manageable level.

The BBC as well: https://www.bbc.com/news/10628494 ("top stories", "world", "politics", "health", "technology", ...)

Though like many sites, I have no idea how you would reach the "feeds" page from the front page (I gave up and searched Google for it)

If you have Reeder, you just paste the regular web page URL into it and it tries to figure out the RSS address on its own. It's possible that other RSS readers do the same, since the RSS information is usually in the page's metadata.
