Managing Information Flow as an analyst

Quick question... I am curious how you veteran analysts at HF's have learned to monitor information flow? As someone who aspires to break into this space, I want to follow the "best practices".

I am interested in the macro HF side and understand that knowing what is going on all over the world is imperative to generating alpha...but how do you decide what sell-side stuff you want to read?

Besides answering the above question, would you mind sharing your process for managing news flow?

Thank you so much in advance and I look forward to hearing your responses!
