These blocks on the other hand are full of data and information. Therefore blockchains are a technology to store data and information. What is interesting about this technology is that it will only become bigger. Old blocks are never deleted, the chain can only become longer. Therefore, all information can always be found if needed.

Even though for faster changes you might need to turn to different channels and chats, there is some news that can be found on mainstream media. For example, whenever a new important way to use blockchains is introduced, it is also covered in mainstream media. You should still keep in mind that these media are often slower.
