Since photojournalism is a paid profession, and journalists would jump all over the "photography copyright laws" if they were to catch someone else using one of their photos, I have to ask. Though I already know the answer, but I would like to hear some bogus reasoning about it. If you were to take a picture of my children, without my permission, and publish that photo, again without my permission, and get compensation for that photo of my children, would you compensate my children since they were the subject of that photo?
You aren't entitled to compensation unless it's an advertisement. I'm paid to report the news, I really don't care who it is in the picture. Generally, if you don't give your name (which should always be asked), the photo won't get used.

Stop trying to impose your morals on other people. There's a reason we have the First Amendment.
