Shot 1)

Wouldn't normally qualify, however if shot from a different angle (more to the left) it could be used to demonstrate the press presence at the interview.

Shot 2)

Similar comment to shot 1, a closer crop of the man's head and microphones would be more useable. Framing for PJ work is often the difference between a printable shot and a reject.

Shot 3)

I can see where you wanted to get with this shot. This is pretty much a stock in trade shot used by most of us at one time or another who've worked in the press. If it was me taking the shot I'd have let the lead man get a lot closer as it produces a shot with more visual impact that way, a slightly lower angle helps by keeping the background largely intact, thus giving the story.
