I don't understand how anyone is surprised by this. "Man has heart attack" is hardly interesting or news. "Gorilla escapes zoo and kills child" is obviously newsworthy. It has nothing to do with the frequency of an event. In fact, it's probably inversely proportional because people don't need to be told what they already know.
