Plough your own furrow; keep your practical knowledge and skills up-to-date as much as you can. But do so aligned with your own goals.

Being up to date with generic "news" is not really that important. Don't allow yourself to think it's bad if you miss a news story. If it is important or significant it will filter down to you.
