Edit : So there are 3 main reasons :

• journals are driven by their communities, so to attract more people they relay the informations interesting the largest group of people : so proprietary software news it is!
• talking about libre software is often tied with political engagement. Journalist often don’t want to be put on a political side or another, so talking about libre software is difficult.
• most libre software project just don’t communicate toward journals and journalists. And when they do they don’t soften the speech enough and always blame journalists to much about their own use of proprietary software.
