If a news organization publishes an article welcoming someone onboard, they should also do that when someone is fired because of a scandal.

Of course, if someone leaves because of personal reasons or jumping ship, there is no reason to do that. But this is different.

Sorta. Usually they would do a press release or a post on their company blog - not an article.

Aside, posting about a new hire is easy and has no legal livability. Posting on a departure can be a tangled web.

I do agree that some note by Ars would be good here.

The complications of HR policy and law do not allow for your proposed solution.
