Why does it seem like similar events happen back to back in the news?

For instance, I read today about yet another chemical train wreck, it seems like shooting stories come in waves as well. Another example are celebrity deaths. Is this an actual phenomenon, or is it just heightened awareness?

People get interested, so the media keep publishing them until we are bored.

There have been 160 mass shootings in the US in 2023, but only a few have been widely reported. We’ll get bored soon and they won’t be reported for a while
