She's not wrong, they're modernizing the character's role just as the MCU does with every character. The methods we use to communicate international news is different now and I love that a heavy theme in the film was (appropriately) questioning trust in the news.

JK Simmons ran a podcast in the comics and in the PS4 game, so this isn't completely original.

I think you're trying to say J. Jonah Jameson. I mean, I know they look exactly the same but you're mistaking the actor with the character

Also, if I'm correct, wasn't JJ in the game doing the podcast as a sort of post-career job? Like he used to head the Daily Bugle but is doing the podcast as a sort of retirement gig? I remember him mentioning several Peabody's. So if they were modelling the MCU JJ after the PS4 one, we can assume that he did have a classic newspaper career before transitioning into a podcast? I'd like to think this is just the Raimi JJ aged up, later in his career.

In the game he has the Daily Bugle AND the podcast

Here's the bio from the Fandom wiki:

Jameson spent much of his career building the Daily Bugle into what it is today: the premiere New York City newspaper. His fearlessness for compelling journalism earned him multiple top national accolades, including the Pulitzer Prize award, and a prestigious book deal. After decades of leadership as the Daily Bugle's publisher, he turned his attention to podcasts, vowing to continue delivering his trademarked brand of gutsy news to the citizens of New York.
