Bitcointalk is the largest cryptocurrency forum, so if you want to find information about a certain cryptocurrency, it's best to search here.
Besides getting information from bitcointalk I also seek information from various media sites like FB and TW.
This is what I first think when the OP asked about news of cryptocurrencies. The announcements section -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0 alone, along with its child board - Tokens (Altcoins) -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=240.0, will give you specific updates for each coin, which, you can never get from other websites. If you want to follow a specific coin, just find their thread and they will give a very good insight on what's going on with their respective project.
That's right, Bitcointalk always has information of most coins on the market.
Besides, there are many experts active on this forum and they can give everyone the best advice.
