If a news organization publishes an article welcoming someone onboard, they should also do that when someone is fired because of a scandal.
Of course, if someone leaves because of personal reasons or jumping ship, there is no reason to do that. But this is different.
Sorta. Usually they would do a press release or a post on their company blog - not an article.
Aside, posting about a new hire is easy and has no legal livability. Posting on a departure can be a tangled web.
I do agree that some note by Ars would be good here.
The complications of HR policy and law do not allow for your proposed solution.
I have no experience in that area, but it's hard to see how a plain, factual statement "This person is no longer with the company." can be problematic.
