How a story makes national news (a diagram)

As part of a service to you, the reader, I’d like to explain how a small story about a pseudo-celebrity (Raj Bhakta) running for political office makes the national news. You ready?

  1. Northeast Times, Thursday, Sept. 29
  2. Philadelphia Will Do, Thursday, Sept. 29
  3. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Blinq, Thursday, Sept. 29
  4. …
  5. The Philadelphia Inquirer, Tuesday, Oct. 11
  6. The Associated Press, Tuesday, Oct. 11 (Note: I don’t know why they put this on Philly.com since they already had a story about it.)
  7. And, finally, front page of Yahoo!, last night.
