The expression "something's up" cannot be used to describe that there is an article in a newspaper.

To indicate that there is a problem with the economy in Uruguay, we might say "Something's up with the Uruguayan economy. It seems to be collapsing quickly."
In this sentence, "up" is used simply as a preposition of place to indicate where something is located, in this case there is an object "in front of the speaker". This is different than the idiomatic use of "something's up" in Polly's email. Note that this sentence is grammatically correct, it simply expresses a different idea than Polly uses in her email.
