The modern Pentax lenses, and the DFA 28-105 for sure, definitely have an edge over all suggested older fast zooms in terms of flare resistance and WR, both can be important depending on you shooting locations (dust) for your first priorities, and definitely often are for landscapes. They also feature fast, silent and reliable AF. Depending on what kind of "Photojourno" you do, supported by a fast prime (e.g. FA 35mm/2.0 or F(A) 50mm/1.7), as suggested above, it may cover all you need and then some, and is definitely very portable. If however you need to cover varying distances in low light indoors, I'd go with the 2.8 Tamrom zoom (inexpensive, lightweight, good quality from f/4 usable at f/2.8), or the Sigma HSM if silent AF is a must. Add a prime if you find a need for a specific application.
