Wasn't Slashdot originally a blog? A place for posting stories that an individual person found personally interesting? Rather than thinking of it as 'news', maybe something similar to this format would get this site back to more organic roots.
Maybe story quality can be measured, but putting stuff up that you find personally interesting, and not worrying about having a story up every two hours like clockwork, might orient the site back towards quality and utility rather than timing or hits.

I agree. I don't think timing should really be the focus. Interesting and important news should be the focus. If there's nothing good to submit, then don't submit anything until there is versus filling the site with "fluff". If there isn't anything new at the moment, I'll check back a little later during a work break. No big deal. Site submissions maintain a high level of relevance. I get work done. It's a win win.

I agree that quality is much more important than quality with regard to stories. However, I appreciate how a community can provide context and validation to breaking news story independent of the editors choices. I suggest that after an editor does due diligence that breaking news actually exists, post it without delay such that the rest of the community can weigh in.
