In the case of RWBY, there doesn't even need to be a full episode dedicated to it. There was a huge time-skip after the fall of Beacon. They could have made a passing news interview with the parents of the deceased champion. The parent's fears of losing a child in the Grimm conflict is a universal one in the world of RWBY.

In regards to the 'secret' thing. Ozpin/Oscar could have at least sent a generic apology for allowing the death to occur, adding to the long list of alleged mistakes. Except we wouldn't be able to see the interview. With Beacon Tower down, interkingdom communication is gone. The Nikos Family's interview would only be seen in Mistral, and only if the heroes were watching tv. The place they're staying at doesn't seem to have a tv.

And no, they couldn't do that either. Ozpin is missing in the Public Eye, or even considered Dead. Oscar is a random farm boi who just got involved in all this. For them to receive a letter from Ozpin would more likely cause confusion as to what the hell he is doing and where he is, and to get one from Oscar would confuse them more since he is unrelated to Ozpin in the public eye.
