The word "redirect" in your Subject: line may give you a clue. You
could write a redirector that passes back the URL of the news page if
they haven't viewed it already (with a link to the one they actually
asked for) or the link they asked for otherwise.

This would naturally add some overhead, but not much after a burst in
the mornings.
