+1 for Wikipedia, that’s how I find out most of my info on current events. If there’s something that seems likely to be important to my near-term decision-making (e.g. riots near me) I’m likely to Google for it to find more details, but Wikipedia is a good place to find out ‘what are the major things that are happening in the world right now, in broad strokes’.
I skim the headlines for several topics on news.google.com. I read the Wikipedia current events portal. Stat is good for more depth, but covers fewer topics.
I hadn’t seen the wikipedia current events portal before, it looks excellent.
