I wouldn't mind seeing this myself. One of the coolest things when I 1st started playing was when I noticed an NPC walking by that 'recognized' me and had heard of my capture of a Freakshow boss. Was such a small thing but really helped to make me feel like I was part of the world.
I think a great place for this would be the Tip missions, the little box you get at completion detailing what you'd achieved. It could have a corner with your picture and a small news blurb about the event.
I like this idea, it's a small QoL feature but would have a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.

There's the issue that according to BaBs a while back, the cutscene scripting is the single most annoying thing the devs have to work with, and that he wouldn't wish it inflicted on anyone. I'll see if I can't find the quote to that effect tomorrow.

Read the Patriot newsletter. It's right, it's free.
I like this idea! It would be neat!
It would be nice, at least once in a while, to have mention in the newspaper or in TV Vignettes when completing a special Mission Arc. Nothing overly excessive, just something along the lines of "So and So ($ your toon) defeated XYZ in a titanic battle today over such and such (Mission arc objective) resulting in (notoriety, infamy or acclaim)" It would have the image of your toon with some extra text of the event and circumstances involved.
Not really so different from the animations / story telling sequences in some missions. It would only happen on the completion of missions pivotal to an arc or series. Really just an expansion of the NPC dialog that often occurs when you hit some of the games milestones. Yes it would not really add all that much in real game value, except for perhaps a feeling of accomplishment and a warm fuzzy for the recognition, particularly so if others beside yourself were able to see it in the papers or on the news. . .
