Another suggestions: I like Semafor.com for their newsletters (that I subscribe to as RSS via Kill the Newsletter, also selfhostable) because they give this high level executive overview instead, usually with a tiny bit of humor inserted in their image-tag line. It’s mostly not too US centric (and obviously their Africa newsletter is not at all). You don’t usually get bogged down in stuff, while still being able to keep up with what is happening.
