There is no single lens length that can capture all types of phenomena that journalism is interested in.
And a single lens length does not solve a problem. What if you wait for people to leave a bus and capture at exact moment when they are out of the bus but haven't had time to disperse yet? What if you cut the bus out of the shot and extend it to the street.
Your idea is naive in the extreme in that it would solve anything.
