Why and how did the NIH depart from its norm of distributing news in written press releases during the treatment of Ebola patient Nina Pham at NIH Clinical Center?

To ensure that all media present had access to the same information simultaneously,NIH communicators set up in-person press conferences to provide updates for national,local,and cable news channels.They also personalized what was an intensely sensitive situation by allowing the scientists and medical staff who were caring for Ms.Pham to serve as spokespeople.
