IMO the only intelligence info the press should really try to protect is foreign sources and methods. People could die--either sources directly, if they are exposed, or victims of future attacks that could have been prevented if the source/method had not been burned.
But intelligence info it absolutely makes sense for the press to cover, is evidence of foreign intelligence activities that were domestically discovered.
In this case, the "source" of the discovery would presumably some employee of Apple or Amazon, and their "method" of discovery would be inspecting their own systems. While I can understand why the govt might want to keep that classified, I think it's well within the realm of what citizens would like to know, without obvious and direct risk to lives.
