Who deternimes if the subject of the image are worthy of the news? How can i know that for sure?

If an image contains a company logo, brand name, or branded products, you will need to edit it so that it is not recognizable before registering it as a regular asset.
If you are registering it as editorial content, no such editing is necessary.

You cannot register an image as editorial content unless you have a certain amount of sales history.

Thank you, so it's only about brands? What does "news" even has to do with it, then? I though that it's about something like making a drawn image of historical event photo, for example.
Then, i can, for example, upload the caricature on real people that will clearly show who is being caricatured?
Or, can i make a comedic images about some of the world events without people on them, or with symbolic caricatures like placing Winnie the Pooh (public domain version) in the science lab with bats in jars?

When using it for news articles, buyers purchase it from Editorial Content.
You can use it without worrying about logos or brands.

If a train accident occurs, you can purchase and use photos of trains and station buildings registered in Adobe Stock.

Editorial Content cannot be used for regular websites, brochures, products, etc.

Editorial content of illustrations is okay according to the rules, but I rarely see assets registered in the wild.

Also, editorial content is not accepted by AI.

No people are allowed, no caricatures of real people are allowed.  Newsworthy is a subjective assessment by the Moderator but generally seems to mean an image that could be used to accompany an article or blog post on a topical subject. For instance, I submitted some images of container ships in the Long Beach harbor 5 years ago during the worldwide supply chain issues, and they have sold many times.

Thanks for answer, just one more thing i would like to know - how did you get your images verified so fast that they were used to portray the accident? Mine can take a real long time to proceed, currently have a few images that are 6 months in waiting already.

Images submitted in the Illustrative Editorial category are routed to a different queue than other images and are generally reviewed in 24-48 hours. Images submitted in other categories have widely variable review times. I have some that have waited 11 months and seem to have fallen into a black hole, even though newer images were reviewed faster. Many other contributors also report such aging images. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it.

Oh well, maybe those images just missed by mods in review queue...
Thanks! Appreciate you being here to help people figure out things they don't know.

To clarify, Illustrative Editorial assets must be real photographs of real places and real objects, no AI is allowed.

They also can be vector illustrations. 

[Jill_C]

Yes. To clarify here's what the help page says:

• Submit photos, illustrations, and vector images. We don’t accept illustrative editorial videos at this time.

Thank you, so it's only about brands?

By @Andrew28402168wx0r

No, I have some pictures of the European Court of Justice. Each time there is a decision of that court, I do get sales.

A picture of a livingroom somewhere cannot be submitted without a property release. So some people thought to be very clever and submitting those under illustrative editorial. They arn't. If you photograph cars they may be newsworthy. 

As always, there may be a grey zones. And the moderator is always right, even if they err. 😉
