I'm surprised this didn't mention Wikipedia's Current Events Portal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events

I also use teddit.net which is essentially a plaintext reddit https://teddit.net/r/worldnews

In my case, gopher://gopherddit.com under Lynx. As for the config -file:

     cp /etc/lynx.cfg $HOME/.lynx.cfg 
    export LYNX_CFG=$HOME/.lynx.cfg
At lynx.cfg:

VIEWER:application/postscript:fbgs %s VIEWER:image/gif:sxiv -a %s VIEWER:image/x-xbm:sxiv -a %s VIEWER:image/png:sxiv -a %s VIEWER:image/tiff:sxiv -a %s VIEWER:image/jpeg:sxiv -a %s VIEWER:video/mpeg:mpv %s VIEWER:video/mp4:mpv %s

Install sxiv and mpv, of course.

This has become my main source of news for the past couple of years. I highly recommend it.

There's a GitHub repository floating around somewhere with code for an rss feed of it which works great for getting it on mobile.
