Wire news is often the quickest and only source of information when a significant event has occurred in a modern communication infrastructure.
Unfortunately, it is not always the most reliable.

Knowing when and where trouble may occur "as soon as possible" is a tricky proposition, especially for someone who is not in the effected region.

Regions that are well monitored with a modern communication infrastructure are the fastest, most reliable sources of information.

Conversely, areas that are poorly monitored with primitive lines of communication are the slowest and least reliable sources of information.

There may be a slight delay as we verify rumors.
If we cannot verify a rumor, it will be labeled as a rumor.

While there are several hazards to wire news, knowing how to incorporate it into your information gathering routine can mean valuable decision making time on your part.
Many times this will allow you to take appropriate actions without delay.
