Worry? Her editors are probably wondering where her damn story on the 
Triwizard Tournament is!  Just a small story -- a brief in the lexicon of 
newspapers -- ran about it. First  tournament in a bajillion years and a brief? 
Uh-uh, not happening.

We don't know if the Prophet has any competition in the form of a news 
program on the Wireless, or if there is another paper out there, but the death 
of Diggory was just announced to 300-1,000 kids, many with parents in the 
wizard world. 

Diggory's death has to have gotten to a reporter by now. 

No, her editors are wondering where she is, why she hasn't checked in, and 
whether they can actually watch her burn when they fire her for being gone so 
long.
