When you work in news there *is* a certain excitement that comes along with major events, but what you should never, EVER do as a journalist is provoke them for the sake of covering them. Do not, my friends, become addicted to turmoil...
This is literally something I was taught by both career journalists and in journalism classes in college 20 years ago. It's a HUGE shift of norms and erosion of ethics for it to be normalized.
