Although it is not a nice subject. It demonstrates what a fairly low traffic site can achieve.

There's a lot of competition for being the "first" with the news, from a lot of sites with weighty budgets and expertise in getting that news up quickly. Sure, you can sometimes get ahead (as Sam notes in relation to a smaller site getting the news of Michael Jackson's death up early), but it's a tough ask to achieve consistently. Upcoming events like holidays (or relevant conferences, festivals, movie releases, depending on the subject of your blog) are far easier to focus on. And I don't think enough blog writers really identify the links between events and what people search for online, when it could really benefit them to do so.
