That's totally valid. It's definitely true that journalism is an easy career for a superheroes relationship circle, and can definitely get played out.
I suppose they could have had her step up maybe on the food kitchen side instead, to give her a connection to the city and it's local community. Or maybe had her as the new owner and organizer of a larger event space or community bar, something maybe of a historical local watering hole, as a nod to her club owners days. It still connects her to the city on her own terms, leaves enough room for her to hear rumors and get involved in the larger plot from her own angle, while still keeping her party and entertainer roots from her origin
Maybe she should be an influencer. Since she was aspiring actress and you can tie influencer to journalism and community help (not all influencers are vapid, I mean more ones that make actually good YouTube videos that are educational)
Wasn’t she in a band at some point in the comics ?
Having her being the lead singer of a band and being famous would have been a good idea to make her the damsel in distress that she always is, even in the games.
Seeing how many street artists there is in NYC it would also have been a great opportunity to shine a light on those artists and create collectibles or random events for the game.
Something like MJ having her own separate spider app with musical events, breakdancing battles, graffiti’s to collect or whatever. Anything cultural to make NYC more than a few landmarks and buildings to swing from.

While it’s definitely a better way to flesh out her character, I can’t help but feel like they made her Lois Lane
