Correct me if I'm wrong, but the internet and rapid flow of information ruined breaking news. As technology and communication speeds have exponentially increased in the past decades news media's ability to put it in front of us near immediately has also increased. Where as we used to have to wait for something to interrupt our broadcast on TV or the radio, now news media sites field millions of visitors a day, thousands per hour and minute so for their sites to remain stagnant with simply local news or national news it would be almost death. I personally check Reuters and a number of other sites a couple times a day and I'm always dismayed when I don't see something new [not HUGE breaking, but something worth reading.] Don't blame the news, blame peoples evolving consumption habits.
