Across virtually every social network site, users scramble to be the first to break a news story. Inevitably, this leads to hundreds of duplicate story submissions and ends with one winner amongst hundreds of losers.

Great advice. If you want more examples search for something like "journalism finding the angle" or "journalism finding new angles" on Google. I remember a whole week of Writing for Newspaper classes in J-school dedicated to taking an old story and finding a new angle. They were fun exercises too.
