A great tip I have received from seniors is never read the DAWN or any other newspaper when you begin CSS preparation. The reason is that newspapers are a source of information, not knowledge. Knowledge comes from books and research papers and other material. Information is just the cherry on top, the updates to that knowledge. So, when you begin your Current Affairs preparation, take, for instance, the FATF, you would first go on google and read the entire history of Pakistan and the FATF. Only after having a grip on that would newspapers do any good for you.
