Sensationalism has changed totally the way newspapers are written, and and the way the news is reported on TV.
Gone are the days when a story leads off with Who, What Where, and Why and instead the lead is the tears of the mother, wife or best yet a child. If it bleeds it leads. I worked as a new reporter and saw first hand a TV reporter shove a microphone in the face of a man watching he house burn down and his mother trapped inside, and ask him how does it make you feel. The guy punched the reporter, and the cops laughed at the reporter and asked how it feels to him now.
Most newspaper articles are unreadable, and start with some obscure point and don't get to what happened until the middle of the article after the reporter has their opinion about how they feel about whatever happened and the emotions they feel.
