Information ON / ABOUT the topic?

Question

Are both way (information on the topic & information about the topic) correct, and are there any differences in their usage? Which way would be more appropriate when used in formal letters?

Thanks,

N.

p.s. I apologize for posting this twice, but I forgot to sign in the first time...

3 from nytimes.com for "information about the topic" a bit heavy, but OK

For "topic", we usually add "on" in front of the word.
