Something that would spawn randomly generated newspapers in designated by the mapper locations.
Just for fun.
Also would make newspapers and hiding one's identity with them more accessible.

What about persistent / old newspaper editions, that could be read in a newspaper rack or something similar?

Like a random note we found right?

I think you could do something where stories are generated based on last round events. Pull game modes and end win conditions to generate headlines, add details

"Syndicate attempt to detonate Nuclear Bomb Thwarted, only 30% Crew Casualties!"

Oh I LOOOOVE this idea! Not sure how viable this is, but maybe it could also pull from inspector reports? Excerpts from them could be pretty funny to encounter randomly.
