When Google News did their major redesign (back in, what, 2014?) it removed pretty much everything about the service that was useful to me.
I switched to curating my own news feeds from RSS feeds of various sources. It turned out to be the best thing I could have done and now is more useful to me than any third party news aggregator that I've seen.
I recommend this very much.
What works is a good plain old rss.
Delivered to my client of choice, via gui or cli. Skipping ads and clickbait articles to save me time.
With a wave of generated content flooding some automated systems, the best curation will be done by yourself by finding reliable sources to subscribe to.
