Huh…if I was running a DnD campaign again I would actually totally do this; ironically my players aren’t…heroic/humble? If the townsfolk began reacting negatively to the characters, the players would just stop fighting the bad guys. Spider-man would continue helping people if they hated him as much as JJ hates him because he can’t help but be heroic, my players would not. I’d have to confine the effects of the newspaper to just the newspaper itself.
