This isn't true: you could use asymmetric crypto and encrypt the photos/video with the journalist's public key, leaving the private key at home. Encrypting to a private key does not required a shared secret. This prevents the journalist from decrypting the photos even if pressed to by authorities, assuming that "home" doesn't include the authorities' jurisdiction.
