But do you take action on the initial report, or wait for the facts to become established? For most significant events that do not directly impact the first-person ( i.e. not hyper-local ) I would suggest that it is strategically better to wait for a week or a month before taking any action based on the event. In that case there's no immediate benefit to knowing about news as it breaks. In fact it could be a negative influence because it distracts from other, more important, action.
