Public Service Announcements : 
Pretty soon this one could be in Rapture : An equivalent of the Duke and Dimwit skits. Maybe called "Farmer Fred and Tick" - with the 'Sweat of Brow' vs 'Parasite' propaganda angle presented as a children's cartoon Parable. 'After School Specials' could include illustrative stories about the evils of Smugglers, and how they work to destroy Rapture ... ( Repeated on TV and Radio for full impact ... )

Flashing Lights and Bulletin
In Welcome Center you see this blocked portal with Flashing Lights and 'Bulletin' ( presumably about security status ). The Flashers seem like they would be something added after Atlas and his Troublemakers ( and then turned Terrorists ) became a problem in Rapture. 
The Bulletin would likely also have immediate information/status about activities/situations in the Transit Hub.

"SECURITY ORDER 217: All Publications to Cease Distribution until Further Notice." - Rapture Standard, Final Edition :
"#217" ??? It would be interesting to see what all the OTHER 216 "Security Orders" were. This one is hardly something just done on a whim, and must have had a serious reason for it being ordered. It appears an awful lot transpired which the game writers did not much care to illuminate us about.
 
City Emergency. "Martial Law" (google it). Ryan doesn't want his Militia shooting innocents by mistake ( or his Security being put at risk by hesitating when 'human shields' might be employed by Atlas and his Terrorists. ) The SITUATION obviously cannot be "Business As Usual" in Rapture (Something the Writer ignore ...). Perhaps it was because Atlas (and Sofia Lamb ??) was putting out so much disinformation (including fake newspapers ?), and THIS WAY any such materials and their perpetrators could be eliminated without complaints ?? 
No doubt many of the Journalists originally publishing were now hiding from the Murderous Terrorism ( They would be especially targeted by Atlas ). Perhaps their inexperienced underlings might be more likely to use ADAM - and therefore fall into the Stupidity-in-Thinking that ADAM Disease brings. Those might have started publishing things which would bring Public Panic. ALL these things HAVE happened in the Real World. "SO SEE War Measures" ...
Nothing says the Free Press In Rapture cannot resume AFTER the Emergency is over, and the Terrorist Threat is eliminated. So it is rather unlikely for a publication ( which in Rapture is a business/livelihood ) to declare its "Final Edition". Is it a dramatic Anti-Ryan 'statement' ? Instead of a Headline, it is a Whine of "Editor/Publisher Declares I QUIT !!!!", to make the point a bit more obvious ( which Ryan really couldn't say much about - Quitters do have the right to quit and abandon their profession and their readers ). But declaring why the newspaper doesn't back Ryan's actions for the public safety in the Emergency might be seen as rather damning. The Editor doesn't seem brave enough to have done that. 
Good luck Mr Editor. If Atlas and his murderous bunch get 'in charge of' Rapture, in that case it WILL HAVE TRULY BEEN your 'Final Edition" ( That is IF you have the convictions you think you are expressing, Mr Editor. )

Advertisement : FISH - NATURES BRAIN FOOD 
"It's scientific fact, that a diet rich in fish and sea greens improves cognitive function. Don't you want to be as brilliant as you can possibly be ? Visit Neptune's Bounty. Smart for your brain, smart for your wallet."
Consider the fact it is what Neptunes Bounty ONLY produces ... What ELSE are they gonna say ?
There's 'NO LAW' about false/deceptive advertising. Beyond basic nutrition such claims are dubious.
Possibly added AFTER the City Took Over Running Neptune's Bounty after the Criminal Fontaine was dead.

Public Propaganda :
: Mary : "Capital punishment ! In Rapture ! This isn't what I signed up for !"
: Jim : "Now hold on there, pretty lady ! The only people who face capital punishment in Rapture are smugglers. And that's because they put everything we've worked for at risk. Imagine if the Soviets found out about our wonderful city, or even the U.S. government! Our secrecy is our shield."
: Mary : "A little capital punishment is a small price to pay to protect all of our freedoms."
: Jim : "Now you're talking, Mary !"
-
Improvements ?
: Jim : "Hey Mary, you hear about that thing called a Hydrogen Bomb the Parasites on The Surface have created ?"
: Mary : "Yes, it is quite frightening. They say they are even worse than the A-Bombs."
: Jim : "Well, we need to keep those rotten Smugglers from bringing those Parasites here."
: Mary : "Its a good thing Mr Ryan and the Council are keeping them under control, that's for sure."
-
 Terrorists in Rapture :
: Jim : "Atlas's terrorists are murdering people in the streets again, while he hides away while not getting his hands dirty. What a dirty rat."
: Mary : "I signed up today for Civil Defense in our neighborhood. They are going to give me gun training."
: Jim : "Yeah, and I'm reporting tomorrow to learn the best way to kill those Splicers and counter their nasty tricks. THE ONLY GOOD TERRORIST IS A DEAD TERRORIST."
: Mary : "We'll have to do whatever we can to back Ryan up. His leadership is our Survival and only OUR only hope for Rapture's future ..."

"Join the Rapture Family and Be Reborn" ( Public Announcement Heard in the AE Depot ) :
Sofia Lamb's spamming announcements (constantly annoying). But would they be saying THAT if there were people still who WEREN'T part of the 'Rapture Family' ( or those constantly with 'doubts' ) ??? I posit (for the MMORPG) that she only controlled a PART of Rapture ( the Southern chunk ... see MAP BELOW ), which would make her constant propagandizing attempts NOT just to get new people for her 'Family", but to keep them from escaping her grasp ( when people heard rumors/stories of how much better it was in the rest of Rapture, which is away from her crazy collectivist tyranny ). "The Lamb Wall" - built to keep the Tyrannized IN.
The MMORPG might have you still trying to find holdouts of 'The Family' ( It takes place after Sofia is long gone, but some hardcases are still around in that area of the city ).
--- --- ---
Audio Diarrhea :
Most of Sofia Lamb's spewings, which are reminiscent of endless mind-numbing totalitarian propaganda (Ryan didn't do a fraction as much as that Collectivist crap continuum announcement spew we got from Sofia in BS2).
Oh Look She has a Book !!! ..... Good sycophants, you buy it - or else. (( If this was some attempt to show the 'other side of tyranny' supposedly compared to 'Ryan' it is pretty lame-arsed - Ryan's Philosophy of Freedom and his trying to protect Rapture from Terrorists, VERSUS Ms. Killing Fields, with her plans to remake Human Nature and to turn the Whole World into her personally designed hell. ))
