About Blockworks shutting down their news division:
Tbh, you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to see this would happen sooner or later. The same is true for eg. CoinDesk. Crypto news have changed a lot over the years, and I feel what was the kicker was the arrival of Tree of Alpha,
@tier10k, and later Tree News. They provided speed and made news mainstream for CT.
For non-BREAKING news we're already well covered from different newsletters and Telegram channels from VCs and KOLs.
For speedy news just follow these accounts and channels:

You could also include Solid Intel and Wu Blockchain into the mix here, but I think the 3 above covers the most.
And just to end this, not trying to mock Blockworks here, and I am sure these people will find similar positions or other roles.
