The overwhelming majority of stories I've found it useful for me to look up on Wikipedia ... tend to be there. Most of these tend toward natural disasters, industrial / infrastructure incidents, business/political news, possibly something in technology or the sciences. Not so much "human interest", celebrities/gossip, entertainment, etc., though I suspect some of those might also find their way to Wikpedia, modulo BLP considerations (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_livin...>).
Wikipedia does not merely regurgitate news, but processes, synthesizes, and very often balances multiple viewpoints.

Though it's worth noting that that page itself was created two days ago, presumably on account of the notable persons involved in its sinking:
