The event must involve the character in some way where the character can influence the outcome. Any Heroic Act/Villainous Deed, Scenario Outcome, charity, or Measurement of Grandeur scores bracketed with [ ] illustrates what the media is reporting on and how far the news travels.

If the Measurement of Grandeur or other bracketed score is 0, the media is reporting on this issue but no influence is determined. In this case, the media isn’t swaying any opinion to the matter as the event may be deemed questionable but still newsworthy.
