I agree with you about what you said about the newspaper article. What you said about how this newspaper article only wants to publish news that is good and make the public happy isn't news at all. News is information that the people need to know and also informs the society about events that usually aren't that happy. I made an comparison on how that if you watch the news today all you hear is news about rape, murders, house fires, etc. These are depressing topics that most people don't want to hear about. But this information is vital to the community so they are warned of these events. My feelings about the beginning of the book is that it is a nice different from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. This book actually has some realism from what I can tell so far and that how this guy isn't completely high and some sort of judgement. Also I agree with you how the start of this book you can tell that there is a sense of a "company" feel and greed. It is shown when it talks about the newspaper company that Paul Kemp was "thrown into" in the beginning of the book. This book doesn't provide any prior knowledge so as a reader you feel as if the book starts off in a place that feels like the protagonist is thrown into a situation that has no background information as a reader.
