Why were media helos allowed to fly yesterday but not today?
Uh, probably because conditions deteriorated overnight, emergency response has become better coordinated now that Martial Law has been declared, etc, etc. I think that with ML declared, the state agencies and military, as well as local law enforcement and fire depts, can be much bolder in making decisions without having to as carefully consider legalities, etc.

Conditions didn't deteriorate in the sky. I could see if LE needed to use those media planes, but that's not happening.
