* The original ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'' plays this slightly differently to the film (see below) -- Rorschach puts his diary in a mailbox before the [[Denouement]], and we only discover its destination at the very end. Whether the world finds out (let alone whether they ''should'') is [[Bolivian Army Ending|left ambiguous]], and the reader is asked to decide.
* A subversion in [[Milestone Comics]]' ''[[Hardware (Comic Bookcomics)|Hardware]]''. This is the first thing the protagonist tries, anonymously sending the media all the evidence he's gathered on Alva's wrongdoing. And the media pointedly ignores it.
* The [[Spider-Man]] ''[[What If]]'' issue [http://www.4thletter.net/2006/11/the-top-100-what-if-countdown-part-19/ "What If Gwen Stacy Had Lived?"] concludes with a reversal of this trope, in that it's the ''villain'' who sends information to the press rather than the hero. The Green Goblin posts evidence of Spider-Man's [[Secret Identity]] to the hero's "second-greatest enemy": [[Da Editor|J. Jonah Jameson]].
