Today with the Aurora shootings, news articles are being constantly updated with new info. When such a thing is happening, do you reread the whole article through or just the updated parts (because the NYT puts the updated stuff mixed with the old stuff)?

Generally I have to reread the whole thing, specifically because they don’t clarify what’s old and what’s new. I really wish they would.
