I like reading the Sentinel email newsletter once a week for time-sensitive general world news, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024 (or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025 etc.) once every 3-4 months for non-time-sensitive general world news. That adds up to very little time—maybe ≈1 minute per day on average—and I think there are more than enough diffuse benefits to justify that tiny amount of time.
That sounds reasonable, especially considering the limited downside.
