Oh gosh.  My bread and butter sort of question.  Scott is indeed correct in
that it IS how you do the search.

(Disclaimer: I work outside the wonderful world of broadcasting during the
week.  I work in a library.  If that doesn't scream nerd...oh wait, but it
does.)

I have not fully investigated how Google News gives their results (i.e.
Which newspapers come up first, or not at all, etc.)  I would give examples
of searches here, and their differing results, but that is far beyond the
scope of this list.

Remember also that one of the larger goals of the newspaper is to get you to
purchase the newspaper.  Scandalous headlines (about whichever gender) still
work.

Plus, all publicity is still good publicity.
