Line 65:
* Justified in ''[[Incarnations of Immortality|On A Pale Horse]]'': the Purgatory News specifically puts together separate broadcasts for each resident.
* Use in the ''[[The 39 Clues]]'''s Book #8: "The Emperor's Code": {{spoiler|After telling the Wizards that he is "Mardigal", Dan discovers a TV report that Holts are on Mt. Everest, where the clue silk was hidden.}}
* Averted in ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (novel)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', where none of the news sources in the opening chapters tell Harry anything (which, as Hermione tells him, is partly because he doesn't bother to pursue{{verify|reason=He has to chase after them?} them carefully).
* Averted in the [[Nero Wolfe]] novel ''The Golden Spiders''; when Wolfe turns on the radio for the twelve-o'clock news, we are treated to a couple of paragraphs about the world situation (circa 1953) before the radio announcer mentions (in a couple of sentences) that {{spoiler|Wolfe's latest client has just been murdered}} and then continues on with the news.
