How much should I care about news? (www.theguardian.com)

I read this article recently and I was just thinking about my news consumption and how much I want to be affected by it.

I feel like it is important because shit is going on in the world however I usually don't change my habits much over it.

I also think that there should be a middle ground somewhere but I can't think of it so if anyone of you have ideas please share them.

I'm francophone and queer living under a conservative provincial government that dislikes francophones and queers, I do like to be on top of what rights they're trying to attack this week.

Apart from that, I guess a general sense that you need to know what's wrong if you want to fix it. Am I aware that I'm ultimately powerless to fix societal woes? Yeah, that's why I cut back on the news, but cutting it out completely feels like giving up any hope of fixing anything. That's just too much of a downer for me.
