Redux: USFA media coverage of World Championships

[silver2e]

Exposure? Anyone remember the 2004 Olympics?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Fencing needs .... exposure.
After reading Heretic's reply to post in the Recall thread about
Exposure equals TV such as CSTV or ESPNU or ESPN.----

"We received more exposure - network TV, national and local press, etc - this past Olympics than at any other time in the history of US Fencing. "... and USFA inability to "capitalize on priceless media exposure..,"

it reminded me how annoyed I was to find NO reference whatever to the Fencing World Championships in Leipzig on the USFA website! Could someone explain this to me?
There were 3 ways anyone could get realtime action and results--one with payment and two without---but the website mentioned nothing at all about them. The USFA could at least have posted the url for the fie site, which did give the links to all the good stuff available.

How could the USFA homepage not mention the fencing World Championships!??

This is inaccurate as their were 2 banner ads advertising the the website where your could view the webcast and if you look at the press release section of the website you can see there were multiple (10) press releases about the team. The press release headlines used to be on the homepage itself, but were aged off as more recent headlines were posted.
