I'm on Jasun's side here.

A studio announcing its decision to sign a new performer that's already creating buzz among the site's members, and a studio deciding to make a commitment to sign an exclusive model does, to me, seem newsworthy.

If you think about it, there are a lot of studios that put out a news release any time one of their models farts. I haven't seen Jake Cruise doing this sort of thing, and I think hearing about a new model that's creating buzz is certainly something that affiliates might want to know about.
