You have done so well in giving a detailed write up on this topic. Yeah, balancing information flow in some sensitive news is important in order not to send fear to the masses. Just like the two instances you gave, wrong approach of dissemination of information can lead to chaos making the masses take actions that would not contribute to national growth and sometimes, negative effects instead of positive.

Exactly.
The power of creating this balance is in the hands of media practitioners but then we can not really trust them to be objective with their news story. To an extent it is preferable that they disseminate all kind of information to the masses, then we will be the one to judge which information is significant or not.
