I would not get a subscription to view that story (it is probably the only one that is relevant to me, in the US), as I'll bet I would get the sub, and the story would still be dead.
Which makes me very sad. I believe in supporting these types of orgs, but they need to deliver (Crikey is not cheap - https://www.crikey.com.au/subscribe/ ).
I logged in with my account and, yes, that story is dead, there's no content. That's disappointing.
I'll send them a notification and see if they'll put it up without a paywall since it's relatively old content (but still pertinent).
Edit: notification sent.
Most newspapers and magazines in the US have some kind of "fee-per-article" archival service. Some will allow unfettered access to their archives with a regular subscription, but others may ask a fee, even for subscribers.
NYT has its "TimesMachine": https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/browser/ I'm not sure if it's available to non-subscribers. I am a subscriber, but I need to purchase page reprints.

There are a lot of articles listed, but if you scroll down there will be a clump that are actually entitled "spinning the media" all of which are dated in March 2010, which are all the parts to their 'special investigation'.
This article is almost directly relatable to the topic of this thread: https://www.crikey.com.au/2010/03/25/spinning-the-media-pre-...
(and it's from 2010 - we've had a decade of normalization between that article and the one that initiated this thread!)
P.S. No paywall!
That is quite a collection!
TL;DR of the above:
"2203 stories. 10 newspapers. A five day snapshot. Six months’ worth of research"
"Crikey reveals the results of a six-month investigation into the role PR plays in the Australian media, finding that 55% of newspaper stories analysed were driven by PR."
