I do like your breaking news idea for an enhanced atmosphere however, i would leave out the concord response. I also think this should only occurr in regions where a large amount of pilots have been killed in a short period of time. Then it becomes an interesting event, one which a posse of dogooders might respond to. Otherwise it will be pretty mundane and just another thing to ignore (hohum more breaking news).
Hum, CONCORD response would be quite logical. Low sec is supposed to be partialy controlled and defended by CONCORD (hence the sentries). And atm, ganking at gates is not right considering Risk vs Reward, as non asleep gankers can snipe without getting hit by sentries (then being able to fit full gank, as they don't need to tank sentries), and if monitoring local can fly away if they spot a potential danger for them (eg. a small fleet coming for them), quite not right imho.
Let's take a comparison with real life: residential/buisness areas are 1.0. When there is a crime in it you get the police right away. Areas where gangs operate are low sec, most of the time no police officer around. One or two killing, they don't bother. 10 bodies in 1h, and you can be sure they'll come in and chase the killers ;)

I think instas are as much a means to decrease travel time as they are a defense against gankers. I would actually like to see a 0 or 5 km warp in to stargates in secure space (making instas irrelevant there) and leaving non secure space as it stands.
Don't forget there is some wars in empire, so instas jumps without even making a bookmark first would give more difficulties to catch war targets.
Main thing I dislike in Venture's idea is it'll increase flight time... But maybe if adding a warp speed increase skill, it could do the trick (travel time would be increased by increased warp speed, having then less time between the time you start your warp and the time you get at destination, and decreased for people who currently have instas with forcing the approach of the gates, and it could be balanced so that in the end you keep somehow the same average travel time, or have a shorter one).

When I started EVE, I thought EVE would require dedication and long term planning. I could never dream that the third ship I piloted would be the end of the line.
