New York Times: Passenger Hailed as Hero Quickly Finds Spotlight Can Have a Harsh Glow

"[Jasper Schuringa]’s work with the news media outlets raised questions: Was he inappropriately profiting from a national-security incident?

Mediaite: CNN Pays For Cell Phone Image, Plane “Hero” Wants Payment For Interviews

"CNN clarifies the network did not pay for the actual interview during CNN Newsroom. However, there’s a reason Schuringa has not appeared any further on CNN or any other network – we hear he has asked for additional payment for any future interviews. The practice of paying a 'licensing fee' rather than a direct exchange is a way networks who claim to never pay for interviews can get around the issue. By paying for images and video, they are free to say no money was exchanged hands for the actual interview."

I'm really struggling to understand why the US media is so annoyed about this: "[Jasper Schuringa] sold the 'TV Rights' of the first of his two photos to CNN for $10K. The 'print rights' went to the Post for $5K. Later, Schuringa was paid upwards of $3K by ABC News for a second photo, which Schuringa tried to sell to other local news outlets for $5K, unsuccessfully. Jasper Schuringa made at least $18,000 from two shitty, blurry photos."
