This concept has been a double-edged sword from the beginning. On the one hand, reporters can compromise operations like the Appache example in the article. On the other hand it makes fiascos like Jenin less likely.
I only watch Fox anymore so I don't know how the reporters from the other networks have been handling this. The Fox guys are totally down with the troops and very careful what details they report.
I only got CNN International, the embedded reporters even gave away the psy-ops operations where a officer used audio-installations and flares to pretend a large US force was coming.
