(154,021 posts)25. There is another reason
How close is the news media to each?
Coverage is truly inversely proportional. And that happens in counties as well.
If we had one of these in San Diego, especially after a good rain, in oh...Potrero, I can get to it, better yet a high point a few miles distant. The rest of my counterparts not so much. Dirt roads you see require a 4x4.
A lot of it is truly access and how difficult is to put people on scene.
