By formalizing awareness of the standards set for non-playing personnel, game officials are able to direct non-playing personnel to an appropriate place outside the playing court.
“The main reason for this additional rule is to minimize risk for everyone,” Wynns said. “Whether a cheerleader or a photographer, having restrictions will help with the overall safety of those near the playing area.”

Rationale: Making officials aware of the standards set for the spirit participants allows the official to manage them when they may not be in an appropriate place.

Didn't the old 5-11-5 already cover most of this? Couldn't media/photographers just be added to old 5-11-5?
5-11-5: ... No on court entertainment should occur during this time (30 second timeout).
