This situation is optimized for media, but exactly in the opposite way. The whole attack is divided into many incremental steps.

Dividing something in many incremental steps that each are newsworthy generally means that the whole things gets more media attention than if you do everything at once.

Wikileaks for example didn't release all the cables at once but purposefully spread them out over a time to give them more media attention.
