Media GPS Coverage Trend?
This is anecdotal, but I think it's true: media outlets are doing far fewer stories on "people driving around and capturing geospatial data" stories and more "what do I do if my house is mislocated on MapQuest/in my GPS" stories. The latest one I saw was in the Kansas City Star and to the Watchdog column writer's credit actually cited NAVTEQ MapReporter (alas there was no live link to the page, but then many papers are still just dumped print text on the Web). The response didn't note Tele Atlas' MapInsight and/or TomTom Mapshare. Perhaps its time for data collection companies (and even OSM) to do some outreach on those efforts?
