In the sentence "I expect journalists to include their interpretation of the news they are reporting," "journalists" is not an indirect object of the verb "expect." Instead, "journalists" is the subject of the infinitive phrase "to include their interpretation of the news they are reporting." In this sentence, "to include their interpretation of the news they are reporting" acts as the direct object of the verb "expect." It answers the question "What do I expect?"

Subject: "I"
Verb: "expect"
Direct object: "journalists"
Adjective phrase: "to include ..."
Let me explain the logic with some simpler examples. Suppose we have invited Mary to come to a party. Suppose that she will arrive wearing a yellow dress:
Q: Do you expect Mary to come to the party?
A: Yes, I expect Mary. (direct object = "Mary")
Q: What color will Mary be wearing?
A: I expect Mary in yellow. (adjective phrase describing Mary= "in yellow"
Q: Are you sure about that? Mary doesn't usually wear yellow.
A: Yes, I expect Mary to be in yellow. (adj. clause: "to be in yellow" modifies Mary)
Q: Does she even own anything yellow?
A: Yes, I expect Mary to wear a yellow dress that goes down all the way to her ankles that she bought last Sunday.
No matter how complicated you make it, it's still just an adjective phrase.
