I use this to read Bloomberg and the FT. The Economist is also good.
Thanks for sharing.
I do read newspapers too, but what I meant was more in-depth knowledge or even macroeconomic history
Read Ray Dalio stuff.
Do you mean current macro environment, or macro as a discipline?
If the former, usual news sources + think tank websites are good for the basics (PIIE, Brookings, AEI, Council on Foreign Relations Economics program). Even blogs like The Macro Compass are cool. A ton of Macro podcasts too if you just Google "macro podcast".
If you mean knowing broader macro knowledge, I'd recommend looking at the IMF's edX online courses, namely Macroeconomic Diagnostics, or Monetary Policy Analysis and Forecasting. https://www.edx.org/school/imfx. They go over what you need to know to know the basics of theory and policy practice.
The best primer on all things economics to me remains

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot for sharing! And have a nice sunday
Wall Street Bets
Depends how deep you want to go. Usually the Economist, Financial Times,Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and New York Times (even with their slight left-leaning bias) all have top quality macro contributors who actually know their stuff. In the UK, the BBC has people who studied History or English becoming chief Economic editors who have literally no clue about any pressing macro issue. In terms of books, Monetary and Fiscal of the United States and Macroeconomics for Professionals are good reads.
