Corporate phrase: “Crisis Merchant”

Explanation:

“Crisis Merchant” is the new term that now fills the space historically occupied by “Drama Queen”, “Drama Queen” is now universally accepted as both offensive and misogynistic, but we still need a term for a person who hypes up all issues to the “Crisis” level, takes joy in reporting and confusing issues and generally revels more in the problem than in finding the solution. “Crisis Merchant” fits that role perfectly and is both gender neutral and instinctively understood.
