Sources of under-reported breaking news

UPI Hears , Overseas Security Council News , News Insider seem to do a good job providing tasty bits of breaking news absent from mainstream media. Where else do you feed the appetite for under-reported, breaking news scoops these days?

If you're desperate for breaking news in a foreign country, the stone-age technology of IRC can often scoop the journalists. It's low-bandwidth, and as a result people are there from a lot of different nations who might not be able to post news on other forums - for example, on DALnet we were aware of the recent Turkish vote result about twenty minutes before it want to CNN/BBC. The drawback is the signal-to-noise ratio of IRC, which is very low.
