Could a cooperative effort to create a plausible body of work help in these situations? A journalist could keep a plausible number of canned stories on their machine and when the duress code is triggered everyone stops using them and more are written to take their place.

What level of quality in the writing is needed? Can some kind of news aggregating algorithm generate plausible stories? Some kind of propaganda bot that writes stories that are favorable to the regime for the purpose of creating a plausible cover?

Do I need to go get more coffee and watch fewer spy movies?

More coffee and more movies. :) How about some real canned stories but of less devastating effect.
