Hey, how about a Martial Arts School of Reporting?  The technique
is to have lots of embarrassing inside information on your
opponent and ask them sneaky questions about it during the match,
to throw them off-balance.  With a real whopper of a question you
might get the opponent to seize completely.

"Hey, Ranma, is it true that you are secretly in love with your
fiance?"  :)

No, that's the school of Martial Arts Tabloid Reporting... or, worse, the 
school of Martial Arts Geraldo-ing. ^_^ No self-respecting journalist 
would use that technique, especially one who takes Martial Arts honor to 
heart. :) More to the point, I don't think it's in Noriko's character to 
do this, unless she has a hidden nasty streak. 

Now, if one of her reporters were sufficiently loyal and sufficiently 
sneaky, I could see *them* doing it... but I could also see Noriko 
putting a stop to it as soon as she found out. :)
