And what is considered news-worthy in the first place? Does it really have to be a rare occurrence? It's the responsibility of the media to consider what it collectively reports - what is reported influences understanding of what is happening in the world. This is why I hate TV news; there's sensationalized violence, with robberies, drug busts, shootings, fires, and suicides, but there's not nearly enough positive stuff to balance it, so that influences the perceptions of the people watching into believing that there is little good in the world, and therefore apathy is the best road to take instead of getting involved in the community and trying to change things around them.
I wouldn't say that the Sun is a high profile news source, but diversity is important as well. This story may be common, but I'd hardly say that it's unjustified simply because it's happened before. Light needs to be shed on this to bring it to peoples' attention, and once it's in the public consciousness maybe things can change because people will see a need to do something about it. If it has to ride the disgusting media circus train to get there, so be it.
