Not necessarily. Tornado chasing shows ended on television after that one incident were the chasers were killed chasing a storm.

Many reporters who cover these storms put themselves into situations that make them look rather ridiculous. Those sorts of shots aren't necessary. However, I think reporters who act sensibly and report from protected areas that still allow them to show the intensity and dangers of a hurricane do perform an essential service.
