Seems like there isn't really an issue being raised in this article. There clearly needs to be close scrutiny on the journalists being given the information in advance, but given the fact that its provided in a "lockup room" it seems like that's the case. If everyone can access the information at the same time, even if its via these journalists, I don't really see an issue.

I don’t think the article intends to raise an issue. It simply explains various ways that the rule is dealt with. That the lockup room exists is exactly for that purpose.
