The biggest thing preventing me from doing something like this is that I like having my players do a recap of the previous session, as a way to help me know what caught their attention the most/what mattered to them.

I guess you could still do this, especially if you really lean into the idea that the reporter is presenting an extremely biased/limited recap.

You could be like the reporter in Harry Potter, Rita Skeeter, who interviews people, and is also an eyewitness report, but writes biased and salacious versions of everything.

Have your group recall everything as usual but you are now the reporter taking notes. After the recap put out a slanted newspaper about it.

I ran one where the players were doing the tabloidery. It was great. I can't take credit for the basic idea; it was one of the sorta-prefab campaigns in the system we were playing.
