yes, best thing you can do to get more accurate coverage to to spend some time with the reporter, field producer, reporter etc, if you can get them to understand and absorb everything then you have a better chance.

It also depends on who you get as well, for some reason in the Toronto/Ontario area we just don't have any technically inclined media people so it is really tough for them to understand this stuff, not any different than if I was sent to cover some high end fashion show in Yorkville.....if I was a reporter I would probably be just as dumb......so everyone should keep that in mind as well, you may understand tech, that reporter may not know anything about it.
