My main concern is that it is in societies best interest to make the cost of reporting news low. Would be horrible to be in a situation like "all the good pictures of this event cost at least $2000, so if you won't pay for that, your audience can't see a visual of it" Do news agencies have to pay royalties on pictures which are 'adversarial'? ex. Trudeau in blackface? Seems like there are a class of images which society benefits from having them be free and not subject to intellectual property restrictions. Seems like capping royalties as a proportion of revenue earned by ads on that broadcast would be a sensible method of addressing this.
