My first question: are you already in Google News, or are you trying to make your content so Google News will pick it up?
You've probably seen it, but there's a wealth of resources for Google News publishers on Google's site at http://www.google.com/support/news_pub/ that should help too.

Hi Elias,
While the mention of certain keywords and phrase may be important, I think the value of such news articles ends up counting on popularity. So creating articles that will draw interest with exceptional copy, great content, and will be considered link bait are ideal.
I am sure you could flood Google with 100 articles that are optimized to the umpteenth degree according to certain statistics, but one single article comes out from a competitor that is headline grabbing, goes viral, and puts the 100 articles to shame.
Interesting content is key with copy that will create sharing/linking.

Why rich snippets have disappeared in Google search results ?
Hello, Few weeks ago, we have implemented a snippets strategy in order to increase our ranking for our blog posts. That was successful and our results were showing up in Google. But today, every single snippet has disappeared. We go back to a simple search result, without snippets for us or for our competitors. It seems that Google has delete rich snippet for specific keywords because for the generic keywords (for exemple "inbound marketing definition" in our case), there is still a snippet result. Do you know if Google has changed snippets parameters for keywords with low search volume ? Thank you !

Google vs. Bing
We rolled out a new site for a customer on an old (branded) domain (14 years old) about 3 weeks ago, and we are doing very, very well in Google for 40+ keywords, but we can't make a dent in Bing. Absolutely nothing. We are using the Webmaster tools for both. Are we missing something? Are we not using the Bing Webmaster tools correctly?

Googl travel dates
I have just noticed, while checking where our hotel clients rank for certain keywords, and noticed a panel on the left hand side called Travel dates. There was a check in and check out option which could be populated manually or by using a drop down calendar. But there's no submit button or anything like that. What is this panel for, and can any benefit be had from it, because from what I can see it doesn't actually do anything (unless it's not displaying properly on my computer?
