It is thought likely that black holes would produce Hawking radiation and evaporate. We can't yet describe the end products of an evaporating black hole, and space is too warm to detect Hawking radiation anywhere. There are some recent new ideas regarding complementarity that are difficult to reach a decision on as well.
Hawking seems to be pulling away from the black hole concept recently. I don't know what to make of that.
Regarding particle colliders: every few years some team gets into the general news cycle with an announcement about detections that resemble particular models of black hole behavior. Miscommunication tends to produce journalism about real black holes being created. Now there may be developing interest in the possibility of the galactic core lighting up. Maybe that would lead to better journalism.
