Putting it on every page sitewide might be a little too much, though -- maybe a new window?
Perhaps an auto-refreshing iframe or something similar - in the case of new stories it could provide links to them -- I think this would be good because some of the larger sites have so much content that unless the new story is really big, it's tough to find. As much as I hate pop-up windows, I think using them might be appropriate in this case.
