  Possible bug warning
  

  The news article timer is buggy sometimes! When you open any recently posted article you will see "Posted just now" until the first comment arrives, but it's can be 30+ minutes old in real. The achievement is not affected by this bug, so you don't have any extra minutes, still need to open an article in 5 minutes. You can check the real posting times on community pages (Facebook, Twitter etc.).

  This is the newest version of this solution. If you want to read the previous full version it is still available for a few more weeks at the end of this solution.
  
  First of all, thanks for every voter, because this solution is reached the amazing 500 positive vote on January 1st, 2017!

  SUGGESTIONS
  
  #1 Use Instant-On mode
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Switch the power option from Energy-saving to Instant-on. It's a "Sleep" mode for your console for a faster bootup (Xbox One Fat bootup time is reduced from 45 to 10 seconds). Then every time before you turn off your console, open TA app and go to the news page, so you can reach the news in seconds.
  Official multi-language how to guide for actual software:
  https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/learn-about-...

  
  #2 Never quit TrueAchievements app
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Simply let run in background while playing, so you can switch to news immediately! You can run in background only 1 game and 1 app at same time!

  
  #3 Try more solutions at the same time
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Try as many solution as you can at the same time to receive your nofitications in time! Some push notification system are still not perfect, so you may experience some late in the same notifications between different platforms. 5 minutes is not so long time for this.

  
  #4 Weekends, freedays and game shows
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Bigger chance on weekends, freedays etc. when you switch yourself to couth potato mode. Just a few seconds to check TA news page on your smart phone between two levels while loading. Game shows are always the best chance full with news, watch them live!

  
  #5 Check smart device notifications
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Make sure the app's notifications are enabled on your smart device in system settings. It's very different on every OS version, but usually you can find it in Settings / Notifications / "app name". Turn on every notification types, enable everything, just in case.

  
  
  SOLUTIONS
  
  #1 Twitter - the best way
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Requirements:
  - Android / iOS smart device
  - Twitter app + account
  
  1. Download Twitter app
  2. Sign up or Sing in
  3. Search for "@TrueAchievement"
  4. Tap on "Follow" button
  5. Turn on account notifications (bell icon / All Tweets)
  
  Some users experienced notification problems. Try to restart your smart device, reinstall application, turn off and on notifications, this should help!
  

  
  #2 IFTTT + RSS Feed - often late, only for secondary
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***IFTTT is a great multi-platform automatizer applicaton. As the name says (If This Than That), if you have any new item on selected RSS feed you will receive a notification, in the app and in e-mail.
  
  Requirements:
  - Android / iOS smart device
  - IFTTT app + account (or any other RSS notifier)
  - e-mail address with push notifications
  
  TrueAchievements have 2 different RSS feeds
  - site news (rare): https://www.trueachievements.com/sitenewsrss.aspx
  - gaming news (frequent): https://www.trueachievements.com/newsrss.aspx

  
  #3 Live Shows - very slow, but easy
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***This solution is much slower than others, but very big chance to unlock the achievement. You have to wait for a big game show, because many articles will be posted during live shows. This is the easiest and simplest way! The best time for this during the E3 week, so once a year in June. The most articles will be posted during the Xbox E3 live event. Simply watch the live event on PC or smart device while TrueAchievements app running on your Xbox One and refresh news page in every 5 minutes (or after every big announcement).
  
  I will create a gaming session for every possible events, not only E3, so make sure you turn on your session notifications for this achievement!
  On TrueAchievements.com go to Site Settings / Gaming Session Settings / Session notifications. Choose these options:
  - Boosting gaming session notification: E-mail
  - Boosting gaming session notification rules: “Achievements on my To-Do list” (and add this cheevo to your list) or “Achievements I need”
  - Gaming session reminder notification: E-mail
  - Only notify me for sessions during the times below: No

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***This solution requiring a Twitter account and a smart phone. Thanks for liviaro.
  You can easily unlock this achievement if you follow these steps:
  0. These steps will help you to launch the TrueAchievements app faster:
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***0.1. Pin TA app to your Home screen (My games & apps / Apps / highlight the TA app / hit / Pin to Home)
  0.2. Enable auto sign in (Settings / Sign-in, security & passkey / Instant sign-in)
  0.3 Change power mode to Instant on (3x faster boot up) (Settings / Power & startup / Power mode)

  
  1. Download Twitter application on your smart phone*
  2. Sign in (or create a new Twitter account)
  2. Search for TrueAchievements and start following
  3. Turn on push notifications for TrueAchievements (Gear button left from Follow button)
  5. Enable push notifications for Twitter in your smart phone's Settings and make sure you are turned off mute
  6. Wait until somebody publish a news article (your smart phone will notify you)
  Now you have 5 minutes for the last step:
  7. Launch the TA app on Xbox One, go to the News page ( button) and read the latest news article.
  Some useful informations:
  - Xbox One Energy-saving boot up and auto sign in time: about 50 seconds
  - Xbox One Instant-on boot up and auto sign in time: about 15 seconds
  - TrueAchievements launch time from My Pins: about 8 seconds
  *Sometimes the Windows Phone users got some bug with push notifications and must wait a few days until get the first notification. Use iOS or Android device if you can!
  --------------------------------------------------
  UPDATE Another easy way. This should help for Twitter notification bugged gamers.
  During the E3 week see the Live video and wait for the big news. You can do this while watching any other gaming event, for example: Gamescom. After any game confirmed, trailer showed, etc., turn on your Xbox One and go to www.trueachievements.com in your computer's web browser then wait for the news article. Reload the web page sometimes. When you see the article, launch the TA app on Xbox One, go to the News page ( button) and read the latest news article.
  The Staff members posting news articles very often after a gaming event started. Posting times when I updated the solution (16 June 2015 09:06 UTC+01:00):
  05:07 AM, 05:05 AM, 04:56 AM, 04:22 AM, 04:03 AM, 3:47 AM, 3:46 AM, 3:27 AM, 3:26 AM, 3:24 AM etc.

  This achievement doesn't work. Maybe all app achievements don't work anymore.

  Wack, the site shows 100% completion.

  Twitter method worked great for me. Also I notice that there's almost always an article published around 10-11am and 4-5pm UK time. You can use a time zone converter and be sure to keep an eye on your Twitter notifications: https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/
  
  I was next to my Xbox so I was able to boot up the console and app then get to the news item within the 5 minutes.

  Hey everyone, I had a bit of trouble with this achievement I would always show up a few minutes late or I would be on TA for about 15 mins then come off. 5 mins later they would add an artical. The best way to get this achievement is on Twitter and follow trueachievements there, make sure you have all notifications on and with in 30 mins of me making this account my phone went off I then loaded up the TA app on xbox and bam achievement popped the artical had been up for 2 minutes so if your on your xbox one as your phone goes off you should definatly have enought time to load it up and get this achievement. https://twitter.com/TrueAchievement
  
  Hope this helps

  At the time of writing, TA is posting walkthrough spotlights every day at 9am EDT which is your best bet getting this as it's consistent. The titles of those articles will look like [Game Title] walkthrough – a complete Xbox achievement guide
