It seems to me that the transparency (or lack thereof) doesn't really affect the news value. A sneeze or a tumor, it's always news.
In other words, just because they want privacy or secrecy doesn't mean they're going to get it. If anything, it often backfires.

I was quoting psychics. How much verification do you want?

None.
I believe in you, I always have.

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

None.
I believe in you, I always have.

But... but... I was quoting clairvoyants!
