I envy you! I work in web publishing! Try getting a PSD from a client that is clearly a print design with no embedded fonts, and Lorem Ipsum shell link text! Then when they supply the text try to fit 10 paragraphs into a 500 pixel high shell! At that point poorly composed, exposed, or low resolution images are the least of your worries!

Isn't it more important what the digital image looks like? Most amateurs can take crappy photos with any camera, and most photographers should be able to make printable photos with any camera.

So, teach us, in general or specific terms, what type of digital image you need to feel confident that it will reproduce adequately. I.e, size, resolution, format, etc. and the more esoteric aspects -- contrast levels, pixel 'quality'... Based on the comments, your readership seems to be other editors, but I'd wager there may also be potential suppliers too, who could benefit from your insight into what constitutes economical, useful, commercially viable and even brilliant content.

At the same time, not everybody who takes pics fills up the IPTC data. Nor does everybody post their pics to the net with metadata intact.
