Did media act responsibly?

After the killing of Sohagi Jahan Tonu (a second-year student of Comilla Victoria College) inside the Comilla Cantonment area, no newspaper or TV channel immediately highlighted the issue with due importance until the news created a huge stir on social media and people come out on the streets to protest the incident. Why the media has acted in this manner is not clear to us. They should give extensive coverage to these kinds of crimes instead of being silent.
