The question is whether one should reduce one's news consumption to only "core" stories. In all likelihood that would show you only today's disasters but not the build-up of tomorrow's.

Personally, I highly recommend you to rely on more than one source of news, ideally with different country and political biases (for instance, I enjoy reading in The Guardian about Germany, and watching Al Jazeera to learn about what's new in the UK).

I feel like if you have to hear about it on "the news" to begin with, it probably isn't relevant to you.

What do you consider "not-news" where one might hear about important things in the (near) future?

If it doesn't affect you personally, it isn't relevant. If it would affect you personally, you'll probably know about it before the news does.
