'what i should like is that everything which i touch should be turned to gold.' why is the word 'touch' a key word in this story?

Not sure put the answer in the comments so this person doesn't get there question answered

Alocal television station would have the ability to give live updates on the story as they happen. however, a newspaper article would present all of the known information at once as opposed to adding on to the story as it goes on. hope this !
