First of a series of seven "polaroids" that fly by the camera in the intro of CHAPTER 11 . DREAM DIVER as Hasegawa's voice narrates the death of his wife Jamie. HD version obtained from Bungie's official Oni page. In-game, a different version appears with trimmed content (only the first paragraph is present, left-aligned rather than justified):

The large version is much easier to read than the 256px in-game version; note that the article's left column continues without interruption in the upper-right column so we can see the rest of the sentence: "government's supposed land [...] reclamation project". For a full attempt at (an extremely speculative) reconstruction of both pages, see HERE.

It's interesting that Jamie is said in the article to have cut her leg on a "flowering shrub". Odd that the creators of Oni would include that detail in the text… (Iritscen speculated on why a simple shrub would kill someone HERE).

Other peculiar details that were bound to come up in court during Hasegawa's trial are that: 1) Hasegawa brought a gun on his journey; 2) the young couple went on an adventure that would brand them enemies of the state, apparently without any concern for the fate of their children; 3) Jamie (a student in biology and an environmental activist) went bare-legged into an area that she knew was heavily polluted. The accumulation of these details makes Hasegawa's story very suspicious, even if we consider that Hasegawa's narrative, morphing into Konoko's nightmare, is not clearly a piece of "real-world" information or a part of the dream.

Also interesting is that the newspaper seems to be cynical of the "supposed" project's purpose, which is more freedom than you'd think the press might have, considering that the authoritarian government. This could be an underground newspaper: marginal publications are hardly a threat to any government, and can even be deliberately condoned only to be "debunked" by the state-controlled mass media.
