I think the other thing I'd say is that while journalists are ethical, news is a business. News will be reported only insofar as the commercial interests overlap with journalistic interests. Of course there is a LOT of overlap. Among other things, news that inspires fear or titillates sells particularly well. But that should maybe be cause for consideration, that regardless of ethics they have strong financial incentives behind what they report. I actually wonder if this is one of those scenarios where you have to be especially wary; when a person's ethics or morality are incredibly well aligned with their self-interest, it ought to give you pause. It may in fact be more interesting to discuss the kinds of stories journalists won't cover, and why.
