In a way the journalists are payed more for hyping up things (at least currently in the click economy). Which is contrary in my view to good science, cause hyping up things can easily lead to false conclusions. And if anything, a scientists should first and foremost be accurate about his findings. Even if the progress he makes is minuscule, it's more important that it's an accurate "minuscule" that others can rely on to further their research.
