Hm ...I still love this game, it just bothers me that I am kinda stuck with that Mafia mission to print anything about the mafia without ever getting any possibility to do so. The only investigation I had that would have fit was one where a boss of a criminal organisation was not imprisoned but came free in court. That might have been a mafia boss, who knows.
I just keep now ignoring his quest and leave that map without mission to not be attacked each time I can't finish his quest, because I had twice some mobster attacking my business.
Other than that I could go up on the map, but there is some rich guy who asks me to sell 16000 newspapers, an amount I just can't reach. I sell mine at best with 8000, so half of what he wants me to do.

This makes the game for me repetitive, because I keep doing any articles about social, economic, crime and sports events without getting far. Most of the time I have to print before I can finish everything I'd like to, so I stay on the same financial level all the time.

Yes this gives the game a drive and motivation to hurry up when news are coming in by the telegraph, but except to a few seconds, you can't really influence the time it takes for the reporters to do their work. It gets a bit frustrating, at least it doesn't make me really happy. Unlocking blocks on the map is nice and I like the extra items you can gain by it.

While I get sometimes some locations and their goodies unlocked, the most useful one seemed to be the adds table for marketing, but I had just one add and that one was immediately gone, because they considered my articles about politics as boring.
The strange thing is that the people love the paper and buy it a lot, so it is wired that the add guy did quit his add.

Maybe I am just too picky, but that makes no sense to me and I feel a lack of personal influence on the paper, the people, my staff, on pretty much everything. There is almost no management that would depend on me. I guess this restricted influence on anything in the game is the reason why I get the feeling to be useless and why it gets a bit frustrating after a while. I hope this feedback can help to improve the game in any way that it gives the player more possibilities/ abilities.

Thanks for reading and happy developing!

Just keep declining news articles until you get a mafia one.

16000 seems like a lot, you'll be pushing 30k in no time as you open more places. Just make sure your assembly system is keeping up with the amount of reports and ads coming in.

There are loads of ways to influence a reporters speed, and drastically at that. Just unlock buffs and items, try and overlap items to affect more than one desk.

Ads are given after a print run based on that run (and is reset every print). If you print loads of political articles last week, you'll unlock 1 or more political ads for this week. Use whatever category the ad belongs in to link with relevant articles for the tag bonus.
