Community Feedback Request: What SS2 content is the most (in-universe) newsworthy?

It's not really SS2 content. But how about an article on how the BOS is able to send a seemingly never ending supply of vertibirds and crew to their unnecessary and entirely avoidable firey deaths?

Seriously?? We've all seen this. Everytime a vertibird shows up they go full on kamikaze just to explode 10 seconds later to rain down firey debris and poor BOS corpses...
Whats up with that? I think this situation would really lend itself to a talented writer who can make fun of that while still not taking it too far. Maybe a reference to BOS elder Hodd Toward deeming this the most effective strategy given the BOSs lack of artillery...
Maybe go for that "those who question these illogical phenomenons are just silly and we just laugh them off". Or like in New Vegas after completing the "Come Fly With Me" quest and Mr New Vegas brings in a crazy person who saw the rockets. He was not far from the truth with "ghouls looking for a land to call their own" but it was countered with his crazy "cave rat taught me a spell" claim. Just some silly fun to have a few characters aware of the limitations of the game.
 
Some really good suggestions here. What we're mainly looking for right now is things in the way of quests that would make good articles, and maybe NPCs that people think deserve being spotlighted. To give an example without giving away too much, there's always been an article for clearing Concord, but with the new articles, it will acknowledge if Jake helped you.
 
I read this and have a few idea which amused me so here is my stream of consciousness:
After If I Had a Hammer,
Ol Paul lonely hearts ad "All I'm looking for is a gal with a back strong enough to haul salvage and can handle herself in a fire fight..."
after Lily appears "Sudden illness of Mysterious origin sends refugees fleeing south, triggering inflation of prices for medical supplies and a new 'stim-rush' as scavvers target the ruins of hospitals and rumours of hidden pre-war stockpiles..."
Scavver's delight,
"The infamous raider 'Ack-Ack' is reported to have been killed in their den."
"Rumours abound the minutemen are reforming in in the north-west."
"It's too late for my Ma, and for the rest of Quincy..." said one local scavver who chose to remain anonymous.
5a- "Rumors of Super Mutants at Everett Estates willing to trade for ASAMs should be considered the ramblings of chem fiends,
"our correspondent reports with this quote from a reliable source; 'Wot Super Mutant want with chalk? Strong not need human junk! Gah put pen down! Strong hates words!'
Well Well Well!
"HAM hobbyists around the 'Wealth have been retuning their radios today as power fluctuations of unknown origin cause electromagnetic havoc." Our correspondent got the views from the people;
"It has gotta be the Institute, tryna melt our brains or some shit..."
{After Prydwyn shows up}
"It's the Brotherhoods airship; all that metal and power in the sky must be messin with... you know...what ever makes radios work."

Unique NPC, Fish Food
"Offering rad removal services, prices negotiable, McDonough supporters and Diamond city residents can use a competitor and good luck with that, assholes."

I'll edit more in if I think of em, this was fun.
