Isis also had a lot of non-sympathetic (of them) people filming them; do you want those in jail as well? According to you those journalist are "helping" the criminals; so in your world view journalist should just not cover anything at all to avoid any possible liabilities, yeah no; the rational thing is to err on the other side.

We can't create a class of people above the law. Private property rights are just as important to a functioning (western) society as freedom of the press.

One less person in the property doesn't make the violation more or less grave; you are talking as if the journalist was the only one to enter or like he destroyed something inside the property.
