I think the media reports what they think people find interesting. And sometimes it is interesting. Like with the man who killed his parents, it is interesting that they were his adoptive parents, but I wish it had more info, like whether he was older when adopted.
In obituaries I think it is good information because a few generations from now that person's decendants might be doing geneology (I'm not sure how to spell that) research and if they trace back to that obituary they will know that the parents on the birth certificate of that ancestor are not biological ancestors (I'm assuming people who are interested in geneology only care about biological "gene" family, at least that is what I've observed with my mother because my grandmother is adopted and my mother did not seem interested in tracing beyond the adoptive parents, but instead followed the lines of the birth parents).
