In an email to a mailing list, Wikipedian SJ Klein suggests comparing the coverage of the London bombings at Wikipedia and Wikinews. And he provides some stats:

The cluster of news article(s) had around 300 edits yesterday, trailing off to 30 today before noon, and effectively none since then; it remains the lead story on the main page.

The Wikipedia article has had 500 edits today, compared to around 3000 yesterday, and is still getting 10-20 an hour. It remains the second of three active current events bullets on the main page.
