Let me now where you live. I'll contact your local paper and make sure they all
come in early and publish a special edition just for you. It'll be at your door
straight away next time.

That might work.

With regards to TV, they have to get people to the scene and begin reporting.
Sometimes not an easy thing to do when total hell has broken out.

I can detect that you are a dues paying member of the instant gratification age.
