Our society is increasingly dominated by the influence on mainstream media, social media and an enlarged court of public opinion. Going to the media as a way of dealing with problems is also a bad way of solving problems, and should be treated as a last resort.
Often most problems are best resolved privately. The justice system exists for when this is not possible. The media circus is a circus and seldom brings understanding and knowledge around real issues.

The event in question happened on a TV broadcast. It was seen by plenty of people. It was in the media because it happened to a media member during a live broadcast. Dealing with it privately doesn't convince dumb drunk bros to not harass (usually female) reporters on TV.
