'made it into newspapers’ vs 'made it to newspapers’

[Musicgold]

Hi,

I heard somebody saying the following sentence. I am not sure about the underlined part. Shouldn’t it be ‘it made it into/to newspapers?’

‘That was a really funny incidence, it made newspapers.’

Thanks,

MG.

Yes, "it made it into the newspapers" would be a common expression.

Hi Musicgold,

You could also say 'it made the newspapers'.

Does it mean "it is reported by the newspapers", Alan?

[Musicgold]

Thanks folks.

Hi Anna,

'It made the newspapers' means, as you say, it was reported in the newspapers - it actually reached the newspapers.
