'''Laurent InfoMedia''' was a [[Free Worlds League]] based publishing and data services company catering to the conspiracy-theorist fringe market.<ref name=H:HMp140/>

==Overview==
Founded in [[3054]] and taking advantage of Gibson's legendary pre-[[Word of Blake]] religious tolerance, Laurent InfoMedia quickly established a reputation for publishing "fringe" material that none of the more mainstream publishers would touch. The company's revisionist views on science and history often conflicts violently with accepted facts, but Laurent has garnered huge sales among fringe elements who find the company's version of the facts more palatable to their own questionable beliefs. 

Among Laurent's best sellers are:
* A book alleging that an alliance of the [[Great House]]s together conspired to murder [[Simon Cameron]] on [[New Silesia]].<ref name=H:HMp140/>
* A volume uncovering a secret alliance between [[House Selaj]] and [[House Marik]].<ref name=H:HMp140/>
* A title revealing the true party behind the assassination of [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Janos Marik]] - his son [[Thomas Marik]].<ref name=H:HMp140/>
* A book with solid information that the distrusted [[Roma]]s are actually spies for the invading [[Clans]].<ref name=H:HMp140/>
* A title detailing [[Hanse Davion]]'s ongoing manipulation of the [[Federated Suns]] following his faked death in [[3052]].<ref name=H:HMp140/>
* <span id="Famous for Fifteen Murders: Serial Killers and Terrorists of the Free Worlds">''[[Famous for Fifteen Murders: Serial Killers and Terrorists of the Free Worlds]]''</span> - Published in [[3065]], this volume supposedly detailed the tragic and lurid facts of bloodthirsty [[House Sian-Marik]] and their brutal vendetta against the main branch of House Marik.<ref name=HHM-14>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 14: "History of the Free Worlds League - To the Stars - Out of the Frying Pan - Sian-Marik: Born Killers"</ref>
* <span id="Skeletons in the Closet: Secrets of the Successor Lords">''[[Skeletons in the Closet: Secrets of the Successor Lords]]''</span> - Published [[3063]], this volume included the claim that House Sian-Marik assassinated [[Mikhail Marik]]'s secret mistress Reiko Makayoshi and daughter Hideyo to shatter Mikhail emotionally, successfully triggering his suicide.<ref name=HHM-15>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 15: "History of the Free Worlds League - To the Stars - Out of the Frying Pan - A Father's Pride"</ref>

As of 3067, Laurent Infomedia's latest volume described the League intelligence agency [[SAFE]]'s great coup - the [[Operation Praying Mantis|assassination]] of [[Draconis Combine]] [[Coordinator]] [[Yoguchi Kurita]], insisting [[Snow Fire]] was actually a SAFE agent who misdirected the Combine into believing she worked for the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the tome expected to be as successful among its intended market as it is preposterous.<ref name=H:HMp140/>
