Known as the Corporate Reporter or Freelance Journalist, your job is to keep the Station aware of what's going on, or entertaining them with miscellaneous entertainment. It can be taxing work and many times a little slow, but it can also be rewarding when you have people liking, disliking and offering input on your work.

Overview and Basics

The duty of every Journalist is to report the happenings aboard the station, this is most easily done through using the right set of equipment, you will need a folder, a recorder, a camera, a pen and some paper. These can be used to get evidence to support your story, and then upload it to the newscaster, or broadcast it on the entertainment channel. Good luck!

Corporate Reporter

As the Corporate Reporter, you are working directly for NanoTrasen to represent the Stations image in a positive light. You are equipped with a higher grade Press Pass and given a higher degree of expectations. While not loyalty implanted, the stories you write should present the Station in a positive light and support the Station Command structure. You are a biased news source, think of yourself as a writer of propaganda. Authorities are not required to oblige to your Press Pass, but they should be much more likely to.

Freelance Journalist

As the Freelance Journalist, you have much more liberty than the former, any news you report is independent and can be positive or negative for the company, however, your Press Pass is lower grade and most authorities will expect less discreetness of you. Your goal should be to deliver content that abides by any rules you choose, regardless of what other Crew think of it, within the server rules. Note; Your stories can be censored. Tread carefully.

Creating and Submitting to a News Feed

You can create a News Feed to submit stories to. Simply open up the interface of a news caster, and click the "Create Feed Channel" option. You will be able to set the channel name, and whether or not anyone, or only you can submit stories to it. Then, select the "Submit new Feed story" option to submit a story to a channel. You will be able to choose which channel the story will be on, either yours, or anyone else's that allows public submissions. You can then enter the actual text of the story itself under the "Message Body" option, and even attach a photograph from a camera to include in your story. You can the use the "Print Newspaper" option, and then the "Print paper" option to print a physical copy of all of the news feeds and stories submitted to them, to distribute. People will be able to comment, like, and dislike your news stories, this will let you know if you're doing a good job. You could also broadcast stories over the radio, however it is best not to do so over common, and instead use the "Entertainment" channel, 146.1. It is fine to advertise this over common, however don't advertise too much, or it would be just as bad as if you were broadcasting over the common channel itself.

Traitoring

You could use your status as a Journalist to try and promote libelous stories, and pin crimes on people that you committed, this will take a lot of clever thinking. You can potentially get additional access through requesting it from a Head of Staff while investigating leads, within reason.
