The Rise and Contentious Fork of RSS
I might be biased here as i've built a news aggregator/RSS reader (https://aktu.io) but imho RSS was and still is the best way to get news from sources you like. 
This is so obvious when you compare RSS to social platforms... I mean Facebook was great to share stuff with your friends and get updates but now it's become a huge mess where you get a little bit of everything, you're not even sure you'll ever see all the publications from sources you like/follow thanks to obscure algorithms, and to make things worse, priority is given to images and videos...
