I actually calculated this success rate for my internship report in 2017 after I finished my mandatory internship with a national newspaper.
I dont have the numbers on my phone but it was around 10 % overall that were submitted after the assignments, and 10 % of that were printed (1 % of the RAWs make it into the paper)
There was a slight deviation between zooms (politics, breaking news, spray and pray) and primes (reportage, portraits, landscapes) that underlined the differnent shooting styles of the lenses.
I suppose this should still holds for my news work these days.
I also started collecting the data for weddings because I felt that an 8h wedding didnt yield double the pictures of a 4h wedding
The „success“ (send) rate sits at 13,2 % for 12 weddings in 2022/2023.
