While it might be hard to enforce, you have copyright to your works. Not true. Besides the fact that "news" is more or less entertainment these days, they still need permission to use it. If their budget is $0 then they wouldn't use it. Since they already DID use it, you can readily make up a reasonable value, say $500, for the use of the photo. Consider they sell ad time in the 100K$/min to $1M/min on both sides of your photo. This ain't 1964 and that wasn't Walter F-ing Cronkite, instead some drone/lackey making their owners money with your work. I bet you can find someone who sells stock images, footage, photo library to that industry to get a sense of how it works and what you practical recourse is.
