In response to all the recent cuts made to their photography staffs by news media organizations:
In short, there is a great deal of difference between the output from professional photojournalists and other photographers (especially amateurs.)
Eliminating staff photographers, especially those that routinely produce high quality images, can negatively impact the quality of the images used by a news outlet. Using "amateur" images, in turn, undermines the reputation of the news organization utilizing them.
A news organization using amateur or low quality images are themselves seen as amateur or lacking in quality.
It's this last point that news organizations can't seem to grasp.
