Regarding Blockworks closing its news department:
Frankly, this was bound to happen sooner or later; there's no need to elaborate. The same is true for companies like CoinDesk. Crypto news has changed dramatically over the years, and I think the emergence of Tree of Alpha, @tier10k, and later Tree News was truly decisive. They increased the speed of news dissemination and made cryptocurrency news mainstream.
For non-breaking news, we already have ample information from various news briefings and Telegram channels of venture capitalists and opinion leaders.
For fast news, follow these accounts and channels:
1. @zoomerfied and Telegram:
2. @AggrNews and Telegram:
3.
You could also include Solid Intel and Wu Blockchain, but I think the above three accounts and channels have the widest reach.
Finally, I don't mean to mock Blockworks; I believe these people will find similar positions or other jobs.
