Learn English – Born to do something or born for doing something / Made for doing something or to do something

There's no issue of should/shouldn't involved here - it's just a stylistic choice.

I think the writer in this case chose to use from because made of more strongly implies that the publication is nothing more than paper, whereas from carries more the implication of using (perhaps along with other ingredients).

That's to say, the publication in total is made from/using many things (including the labour of the writer, publisher, etc). And possibly some old recycled rags, since pure wood-pulp paper isn't always of the best quality.

A similar situation arises with toilet rolls, which are often claimed to be made from recycled paper. The manufacturers know perfectly well that toilet paper made entirely of recycled paper isn't actually much good. They don't want to call attention to the fact that there is probably some fresh wood-pulp in the mix; using the word from helps present things the way they want.

I think unnecessary and redundant are somewhat "loaded" terms in this context. In fact, we usually do include the preposition "from"...

...and I think only a pedant would argue for or against any of those three, in almost all contexts.

Comparing UK/US-only usage on that NGram suggests Brits may be slightly more likely to omit "from", but that hardly seems significant. The main factor affecting usage for all native speakers is that we're more likely to drop the preposition in simple constructions. Thus...

"You can't prevent me going!"

...is immediate and unambiguous (though many of us might prefer "stop"). On the other hand...

"You can't prevent an unemployed person watching daytime TV from drinking too much"

...is something of a garden path sentence. I highlighted the word "from" so you'd see it coming.

If I hadn't highlighted the word, you might well have assumed it before "watching". And then been forced to re-analyse later, when you finally came to the actual word explicitly stated. Which could have been even later - I could have written "You can't prevent an unemployed person watching daytime TV drinking too much from dying young" (forget the missing "and's" and commas).
