The same article also says it is natural to read news to stay informed and gives the exact same advice as I do :

"“Try to be aware of how [the news] changes your mood or makes your thoughts more negative,” Davey advises. Breuning agrees, and recommends limiting your news consumption to one block of time each day—say, at lunch or before dinner—if not less. At the very least, don’t watch or read the news before bed, she says."
