Is there a prize for being the first person to report on a death, engagement, marriage, divorce etc...

I don't know about a prize but it surely is a competition.  I had a co-worker who arose before dawn to read the obits in the morning paper.  She had to be the first to announce the death of someone we all knew, usually a retired former co-worker.

It's important to post it before we all read it on yahoo news!

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Only in the competitor's mind.  Sad way to get attention.
