24*7 news is a big problem in this regard, as well the competition between the papers.
Reporting the news is no longer enough, it's about having headlines that make people buy the paper.
"Limited chance of your child meeting a paedophile" won't sell as many papers as "3,000,000 paedophiles are waiting around the corner to grab your child!"
