Sarna News: Bad 'Mechs - Icestorm

User:Talvin/Media Companies

I started this with New Avalon Press. Thinking about it: authors, fluff-writers for the sourcebooks and supplements, and the hardcore loreseekers might benefit from a list of the in-universe media producers: the film studios, news organizations, and publishing houses. Categories just won't work for this: you need some idea of what they make. I also keep running across relevant orphans, so I am going to adopt them. Smaller outfits with just one or two little publications will stay on a list page, anything that is shown to be prominent can be spun off into its own article. Again, parking it here while I flesh it out. This is not getting out in Main until it is in much better shape.

  • Drake (Underground News Agency)
    • 3078: Highlighted the disparity between the official, sanctioned propaganda regarding the victory at Dieron, and what the Drake claimed was the truth, (four Galaxies of Ghost Bear troops and a Clan naval flotilla doing the heavy lifting while the DCMS presence was little more than a footnote)[20]

"Tabloid" Media

Scandal sheets and the like.
