At what point does prevention of a tragedy end and vanity news begin?

On a recent exploration of the idiot social service called Facebook, and viewd a what I thought was a progressive reporter, put on her war paint for the nights newscast I inquired; considering a friend and Utah State Trooper who was honored with memorial service today in Ogden, who was taken from his wife and Children , because some lady wasn't giving attention to her driving. This situation has plagued us in towing for I can't count on two fingers how many friends in this towing business who have lost their lives in the line of duty due to motorists not giving attention to their driving and slowing down and moving over when approaching a tow truck with the lights flashing doing our jobs? No can't do that. About two years ago, a simular situation happened near Idaho Falls Idaho. Channel-8 which is nearly as stubborn as KSL out of Salt Lake City, did a story, on moving over and slowing down. The question is, why the hell does that news story have to be about one of biting the sand, or getting hit , killed or at least maimed due to the ignorance of car drivers. My Dad and Mom used to teach that an ounce of prevention , is ten times worth the price for a pound of cure. In short Miss. Vowell and others , why does it take a Trooper to get killed or a tow truck professional to get seriously injured for you to wake up and do a story. 
No it's better to do a story on multi million dollar news like millionaires coming to Utah to gussy up an old shopping mall, or doing some fluffy all feel good thing, but to say hey when your approaching a tow truck on the side of the road rescuing a mother and children when they slide off the road, and taking less than a going rate.(done it, been there). to slow down and move over so WE can make it home to our own families. Naw can't do that. So I say again; hey Miss Vowell of KSL 5 TV News and others at what point does a story that could do a ten ton job of prevention in ensuring the safety of tow truck drivers, rather than do fluff and just doing a story on one of us  who died. Think about that Miss Vowell, wait until you and that late night camera person slide off the road, and your waiting hours in the cold and snow, when the tow truck driver you ignored, ignores you.
