Market Share Competition in New York
How not to sneak into the hospital for your next newspaper scoop...
Competition for the market is keen among the New York newspapers. Not long ago,
a famous actress was hospitalized. Looking for a scoop, the
Post sent a lady reporter out to get the
story. She was to dress up as a nurse, sneak into the hospital, and interview
the actress.
The next day the reporter returned to the office. Her editor asked, “Did you get
the story?”
The lady reporter said, “No, I got thrown out by the doctor from the
Daily News!”
