David's points are very valid.
As a former writer of magazine articles, one of the purposes of digging 
out such shocking headlines is that it catches people's interest and 
provides something to read and, yes, an addition to the writer's paycheck.
And eyecatching headlines give atttention to publications and headlines.
So, while all of this is interesting and a conversation starter, I 
wouldn't spend my days worrying about this as, the attention it's getting, 
in and of itself will bring about solutions, assuming they even need 
solutions.
But keep in mind that writers write to eat just as most other jobs do.
