These aren't "feel good" stories, they're "we live in hell" stories.

What is terrifying is journalists who work at news agencies can't tell the difference between a heartwarming altruism story and a slip through the cracks dystopian horror story.
They likely can. They're paid not to frame it that way though.
So this is in accordance with the news agency's style guide? I'm not sure if it's worse if the agency is ignorant or maliciously manipulative.
In the words of Noam Chomsky, "I’m sure you believe everything you’re saying. But what I’m saying is that if you believe something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting."
