News gathering has become a business, and well some businesses, like pharmaceuticals will give press kits out announcing the arrival of new drug and how it's now an effective treatment for X disease/disorder.
They need to fill 24 hours of news, and well there's not really all that much that's interesting to put in front of the camera. Most news comes right off the newswires AP, UPI, Reuters, so the normal reporter doesn't do any real journalism.
Packed news is so much easier.
