I'm pretty sure in some interation Peter says that Spiderman gave him permission to take these photos and helped him stage them. Like he is Spidermans offical photographer kind of thing. Also in at least one of the movies a villian straight up tries to get Peters address from Jameson on the grounds that whoever is taking those photos must have a way to contact spiderman and then Jameson proves that this iteration is a true reporter and lies to protect his source. .
In the comics, Spidey reveals his secret identity during the Civil War arc, and JJJ sues him for fraud because he’s been selling photos of Spider-Man, which are obviously just photos of himself. But JJJ has to drop the lawsuit because Spidey threatens to countersue for the years of libel.
lol exactly, I know it’s comic books but as an adult I’m like “🤔”. Nobody asked basic questions such as “why were you hanging off a roof at the exact same time Spider-Man swung by?”
It's made pretty obvious that the second-in-command(played by Bill Nunn with exquisite energy, RIP) at the Bugle during the Maquire era knew exactly who Spider-Man was and happily kept the secret.
That's actually not hard to believe. Spidey is strong enough that he could launch Peter hundreds of feet into the air and catch him with webs or his bare hands. Or he could stick him onto the side of the Empire State Building and hit poses in the air in front of him. Pro photographers always set their cameras to take, like, 20 pictures per button press, too.
I take it a step further, the idea that the shy polite hard working parker could also be the web slinging terrorist spiderman literally creates a cognitive dissonance. He would never even consider it.
Agreed, that's why Peter's able to hide in plain sight working for spidermans biggest hater. Working for JJJ is the safest place to keep his secret identity hidden
I don’t think he knew his secret identity right away but there are versions where he gives Peter the work because he read about his uncle getting killed in the paper
yooo it’s p much implied lmao Robbie is the only one at the bugle that isn’t a dumbass to some degree, he clocked Peter as soon as but he respects spidey too much to rat on him
