Her knowledge and the _____ (B) of receiving important news may also depend on where she is located (and therefore what networks she is part of).

On the other side of the story, we have governments both at the state and Central level relying on notifications and press releases to communicate ____ (C) policies to the general public. At the Centre, such information is imparted through the Press Information Bureau (PIB). At the state level, announcements are usually put _____ (D) on websites of government departments. These may be picked up by industry associations and private entrepreneurs, who pass them on to their members/networks.

Regional news reporters in charge of specific beats scour these websites for the latest notifications and may report the ones they deem important. If there is a substantive announcement, inauguration, or launch, there will be a press conference. As a result, not all government policies ______ (E) into news stories in the mainstream media. And when they don’t, the message often gets stuck, with firms being oblivious to new changes.
