if it is a big story, the networks + local stations would have crews there.

even then... the person hold a press conference... and the information is still that same.
Exclusives are few and far between nowadays, and no...what I mentioned applies to international stories as well.
and what gets the reporters and crews to cover it? the first dispatch from the newswire.
and who is to say what is a big story? You mean the media giants that buried the FCC ruling into obscurity? There isn't as many media outlets as you think.
I'm not speaking about this from opinion or the way that I think it works, but from actual facts since I've worked with the newswires, and news medias from local NYC news WB11 to WCBS.
