We're indexed in Google News, any tips or suggestions for getting traffic from news?

We have a news sitemap, and follow all best practices as outlined by Google for news. We are covering breaking stories at the same time as other publications, but have only made it to the front page of Google News once in the last few weeks.
Does anyone have any tips, recommended reading, etc for how to get to the front page of Google News?
Thanks!

I imagine this would have to do with social sharing usage. If your posts are getting a lot of attention via Twitter, Google Plus, Facebook, etc within the first few hours, you stand a chance.
How long has the website been around?
Do you have social sharing capabilities embedded in the site?
