A store advertises its Memorial Day sale with a mammoth two-page newspaper spread and the store’s foot traffic either goes up or it doesn’t. If your interview with USA Today just appeared in print and online, you shouldn’t expect your phone to ring incessantly the next morning with people wanting to employ your services. Case closed.

How is reporting different at newspapers, TV and wire services?
