Responsible journalism?

Is is just me or have the rules changed for responsible journalism? Is it OK to publish sensational, unsubstantiated headlines before getting all the facts? Is it OK to traumatize a family that is already dealing with a tragedy just to lay claim to "The Scoop"? Is it OK to write an article in such a manner as to suggest a person is a guilty party when you know not what you write? Is it OK to do all the above without not so much as an "Oopsy" when all the facts become known? Apparently so.
