I thought as much. My tweet that contained the screenshot: https://twitter.com/joewass/status/788071468131295234

Maybe you could resolve the conflict by including a "don't show any more breaking news" button and then taking the data back to Editorial.

Or analyzing the clickstream to see who is being shown breaking news that they already saw, or they're actually reading at the time.

I suspect an optional button would not be very popular, so the data wouldn't achieve the aim you want.
