Answer

Woodhull's newspaper, The Woodhull and Claflin's Weekly, added more detail to the affair story than was considered proper at the time. For example, the newspaper published the names of the men involved, including a prominent minister. This level of detail was considered to be scandalous and inappropriate at the time, and it contributed to the newspaper's reputation for being controversial.
