The reporters care about stories that could bring a lot of attention, and hence advertisement. It's their bread and butter and unless they do so, they will be stuck with "utterly shite art remuneration". In a world that accepts the whole neighborhoods crawling with mentally ill homeless drug addicts (google Downtown Vancouver East Side, or San Francisco Homeless) covering this would hardly be worth the reporter's time, sorry. Seriously, imagine how an article want would look like, and try to find anything similar published recently. Then divide your search results by the estimated number of crack dens in the areas you searched, and you'll find out that your chances of winning a lottery could be higher.
