Breaking news (when actually is breaking news) should always be pushed out right away and edited to keep the information accurate and up to date.
The release rate for other news stories should be based on when people are actually visiting the site. If the community is constantly checking in through out the day, releasing content more frequently is probably a good idea. If they are only checking in once ot twice a day, then the release rate doesn't need to be as frequent.
I would also sugest deciding how many non-breaking news stories you think should be released within a given day. I think I saw 14 or so on the front page for today so far. If I were to check in off and on all day that might be fine, if I only get to check in once a day that might be too many to have up by 2pm est. There is a balance that needs to be struck between quantity and quality.
