I love Wikipedia's "Current Events" portal so much that I have built a search engine for it: https://pastevents.org/
PastEvents is my entry point to the news nowadays. It updates daily and I can look at source material and relevant articles linked directly from the event, as well as search the past for related events to understand chronology.
I really like the date range selector. I can see this being very useful for getting a clear picture about what the world thought about certain topics before they blew up in certain directions in more recent times.
awfully sorry, I wanted to 1. underline that it's a shared opinion and 2. notice others that the "Current Events" portal was commented here.
I posted the exact same comment in all 4 positions talking about Wikipedia - if anyone feels offended or spammed just ler me know and I'll delete this superflous cross-reference
