"The media" is an exceptionally broad term though. CNN aren't going to interrupt their coverage of the Ferguson riots to go "we interrupt this bulletin with breaking news: Lady Gaga has released Onion Girl on her ARTPOP app."
But when Gossip Sites like HollywoodLife and DailyMail "report" on a Big Brother or X-Factor reject from 3 years ago uploading a selfie on instagram, then yeah, I do think they'd write up a post on their sites about Gaga releasing a new song. And you'd be amazed at how much traffic those articles get. People love to read about celebrities.
And I could be wrong on this, but I honestly think releasing 'Cake' was one of the worst career decisions she's ever made. I remember people thinking "she can NOT be serious right now...is this a joke?" And little monsters all over twitter going "guys!!! It's a joke song guys! She held a competition for fans to write the lyrics and the winner won the song lyrics and she performed it for them! It's a joke! She's making fun of rappers!"
That didn't get widespread media coverage but it didn't stop my friends from going "did you hear that new Lady Gaga song? So ****ing bad..." They'd still heard about it and listened to it, and it started to change their (previously really high) opinions of her.
