Even if its entertaining, would a high school or college paper print something private like excerpts of the president of student government's stolen diary, or an over-the-top love story of 2 students who like their privacy? If I went to my school paper (high school or college) and print something like "Here's a list of 100 students and what kind of underwear they normally wear" (I could do worse, but this seems tame) kinda article, would that be acceptable news material? Theres gossip, and than theres just being insensitive.
Yes, that's insensitive...but a paper could technically get away with it, if it was passed off as a "gag" or joke (meaning none of it should be taken seriously), or the names were anonymous or generally unracognizeable (like the initials in my fake Kadic Gossip column printed a few posts above).
An editor can technically sneak things into a paper last minute without a teacher seeing it, depending on how much interaction there is between the teachers and the students in charge of the paper. This is most likely how that picture of Ulrich and "Yumi" got into the paper. Millie and Tamiya took the picture, and their editor likely found it too good to resist. The paper was printed and by the time the teachers saw it (and Yumi) it was much too late. The same scenario could easily apply to Yumi's threat of posting Sissi's diary (which again could also work if it was kept anonymous or as a "gag").
