× I'm selectively interested in the news, especially technology and sports.
✓ I'm selectively interested in news, especially technology and sports.
'the news' is acceptable, but when speaking generally about categories of news, omitting the definite article is more natural: 'interested in news'. Suggestion: use 'interested in news' for general interests. (Note: This is optional stylistic change rather than strict error.)
× I usually get my news from online news websites or apps to keep up with current events.
✓ I usually get my news from online news websites or apps to keep up with current events.
No grammatical error detected that matches the provided problem types. Sentence is grammatically correct. No change required.
× I prefer using news apps because they send notifications about breaking stories and are easy to check throughout the day.

Sentence is grammatically correct. No change required.
× No, I wouldn't like to be a journalist because the job seems to be very stressful and demanding, especially with a tight deadline.
✓ No, I wouldn't like to be a journalist because the job seems very stressful and demanding, especially with tight deadlines.
Use plural 'deadlines' when speaking generally about repeated tight deadlines. Also 'seems very stressful' is more natural than 'seems to be very stressful.' Suggestion: use concise form 'seems very stressful' and pluralize 'deadlines' for general meaning.
× I prefer a more stable and predictable career as I value a work life balance and.
✓ I prefer a more stable and predictable career as I value a work-life balance.
Missing hyphen in 'work-life' when used as a compound modifier before a noun. The sentence also had a trailing conjunction 'and' with no following element; remove it. Suggestion: use 'work-life balance' and ensure sentence is complete.
× Yes, I read the news this morning were having breakfast.
✓ Yes, I read the news this morning while I was having breakfast.
Original sentence has incorrect clause structure and missing subordinating conjunction. Use 'while' plus past continuous 'was having' to indicate an action in progress when another action occurred. Also 'read' (pronounced 'red') is past tense—keep it. Suggestion: use 'while I was having breakfast.'
× I usually check the news uh, every morning to catch up on local and international news as it helps me start the day feeling informed.
✓ I usually check the news every morning to catch up on local and international news, as it helps me start the day feeling informed.
Remove filler 'uh' in formal responses. Add a comma before 'as' when it introduces a reason clause. Otherwise sentence is fine.
× I don't talk with friends about the news very often as most of them aren't particularly interested in it.
✓ I don't talk with my friends about the news very often, as most of them aren't particularly interested in it.
Add the possessive 'my' before 'friends' for naturalness. Add a comma before 'as' when giving a reason. Grammatical issue is article/pronoun usage and punctuation.
× We usually chat about our daily lives and shared hobbies such as sports or movies instead.
✓ We usually chat about our daily lives and shared hobbies, such as sports or movies, instead.
Add commas around the example phrase 'such as sports or movies' for clarity. The sentence is otherwise correct.
