Depends what type of information. For current events, I don't pay a ton of attention to news, but generally I have an idea of what's going on in the world from Reddit, and if a story seems to have two different versions being told, I try to find a primary source - like if people are throwing a fit over what some public figure said in a speech, I look for either a video, audio recording, or transcription of the thing, and use that to draw my own conclusions. I don't follow news very closely, but have a general idea of major global events.
Most of the types of information I seek out are very factual types of things, not stuff with a lot of subjectivity. Visa requirements for a country. Sewing pattern for a specific thing. Recipe for a specific thing. Definition of a strange word. How to fix something.
