With the media, I'm not sure whether it's malicious or laziness. I did a couple of award presentations for heroic or special acts by civilians at horrific crash scenes. I took the time to type up 2 fact sheets for distribution to attending news media at each presentation. One detailed report of the events and one with bullet pointed highlights. Upon seeing the news coverage later on, it was very evident that NONE of the reporters bother to read EITHER of the facts sheets. Pure laziness and obviously didn't even bother to pay attention at the presentations when a synopsis of the events was given.
