These types of stories are covered because the media likes to focus attention on individuals. It makes the stories more personal.

It's kinda like when Stalin said that a single death is a tragedy, and a million deaths is a statistic. People just don't quite care as much when they can't attach themselves, and that means a drop in the one thing the media really cares about: ratings.
