Reddit, Twitter and Bitcointalk are the best combination of sources if you need to keep up to date
I also mainly use bitcointalk but sometimes check out some reddit posts.
On top of that I watch a few youtube channels and my opinion on the news sources is as follows:
Crypto news sites are crap. They repeat FUD and their articles are often biased especially on sites like Coinidol. Coindesk is far from being the worst here but I don't read it.
Most youtube channels are just spreading hype and repeating catchy phrases after each other.
Forums are the best but you have to be able to filter information on your own.
