News orgs should be able to register similar to 501c and reporters similar to any perennial certification system and get subsidization for dedicating some amount of coverage to the public interest, which you leave intentionally nebulous and allow for the public to challenge it through the courts if they feel there's a bad faith actor.
The freedom of the press is sanctified to ensure functioning democracy but there needs to exist reasonably accessible tools to exercise that freedom otherwise it's just flowery language.
It's not meant to cover all the costs but exist as an incentive so that the service is provided.
