Where news breaks these days

I have been looking at news stories that Twitter has broken recently, so this one about the sad news of Tim Russert's passing caught my eye. Wiki as the source of first resort. Read the comment for an interesting take on this.

clipped from www.businessweek.com Sad News About Tim Russert Broken By Wikipedia? While making calls to confirm the swirling chatter that Tim Russert passed away today, I clicked on Wikipedia. And, sure enough, there it was, revised at 2:01 PM Eastern time (7:01 Greenwich Mean Time, per the timestamp on the edit UPDATE 6/15: as commenter Jon points out below, 7:01 GMT is actually 3:01 PM Eastern time), right in the first sentence--well in advance of any other news outlet. I didn't see this anywhere else online until around 3:30, at which point the Drudge Report linked to a brief New York Post item. The New York Times had it up at, I think, at 3:33--which, according to Mediabistro's TV Newser (disclosure), was six minutes before Tom Brokaw went live with the news on NBC.
