It’s more of a multi-party Prisoner’s Dilemma - there is no way to enforce an embargo, significant penalties to an “old school” news organization not sharing all the information that the hungry can’t-afford-to-be-ethical outfits will likely publish, and vice versa.

An industry organization or regulatory body that could enforce adding language encouraging sensitive viewers to seek counseling may be the only sustainable band-aid here.
