It does not work this way :)

The number of volunteers promoting Fedora is limited and their time is 
limited, do not expect them to promote Fedora 24 hours a day, 365 days a 
year, they will focus on important things, like the releases (but not only).

Also, is the matter of saturation: the general public has its own 
priorities, if you barrage them with a constant flux of Fedora related 
news, they will quickly become bored: what? yet another feature in 
Fedora? just like the other gazillion they make public every other day?
