Reminds me of a running joke in Terry Pratchett's _The Truth_ that the paper prints as many names (plus age, address, and maybe a brief bit of information about them) as possible because those people will then want to buy a copy. "‘Mr Goodmountain, can you think of any reason I should put this in the paper?’ said William, handing him Sacharissa’s report of the Flowers and Cookery meeting. ‘It’s a bit … dull …’ The dwarf read the copy. ‘There’s seventy-three reasons,’ he said. ‘That’s ’cos there’s seventy-three names. I expect people like to see their names in the paper.’"
