More details to this question:
I took a photo in 2010 , This photo was newsworthy and I sold the limited use of my photo but not the rights tp the photo to 5 news outlets, sover the last few months I have seen the image appear on websites for other news outlets websites, none of which are the original companies I sold the USE of the image, I see that these other companies took the photo from the website of a company I sold the use to. can I ask these third party websites, some of which engage in sensationalism, and less than ethical news guidelines, to cease and desist with the use of my image, also can I request compensation for their previous unauthorized use of my photo?

Yes, without question. Collecting may be a problem - but you are certainly entitled to compensation.
