I've been reading CoinDesk and CoinTelegraph, but those are general news sites in my opinion. There isn't a lot of news about the smaller coins.
What sites do you read?
When it comes to smaller coins you can get them on their official social media and telegram channels, big advertising companies hardly covers smaller coins, they charge them with a huge fee if they are going to cover them, so if you invest in small or start-up coins always get the news in their official Twitter or telegram channel.
