The Czerka News Network


''A Voice for Truth.''

Officially serving as the largest multimedia conglomerate in the Galaxy, the Czerka News Network (or CNN for short) was famed for breaking some of the biggest news in the Galaxy, as well as for being at the heart of numerous scandals, up to (yet not limited) to bribery, corruption, comm tapping, espionage, Corporate Sabotage and much much more. Despite all this, it continued to be the most watched channel in the Galaxy, expanding into new forms of media: Both Virtual and Social, through the generation of Social Media platforms.


With the support of private journalists, who would often send stories in (only to have them drastically edited in line with the stance CNN was itself taking), the CNN group was known to warp the events of the Galaxy and broadcast a highly spun version of the truth. Over the course of its long and convoluted history, this stances have included an anti-Jedi stance, anti-Mandalorian stance (which then changed to endorsing Prudii Kyramud for Mandalor) before eventually going back to condemning the Mandalorians as terrorists.

The changes in stance have often been linked to the changes in the groups ownership, initially falling under the 'Czerka Media and News Group', itself part of the larger 'Czerka Corporation', before being spun of under 'Makr Holdings'. It was then sold to a collection of private investors, purchased again by the state of Druro, who nearly made it bankrupt, and sold it to the 'HyperMap' company for an (according to their chairman) ''Total Steal''. It has since become part of the Nar Shaddaa Syndicate.

All of these changes, whilst hard to follow mean that the CNN group has consistently ranked at the top of the Galaxies companies by Market Cap, as well as revenue (and ironically, also losses). Featuring a complaints department that takes up a small moon, in addition to several hundred thousand reporters, the companies largest department is by far its automated 'Public Relations Team' who respond to allegations of unfairness and corruption at the paper by putting people on hold.

Last year the paper made history by being the first group in existence to hold a funeral for one of its clients, who died whilst in his 23rd year of 'Hold'.

This looks pretty good. I'd note two things. One is that this bit...

...is all one sentence, and could be broken out into several.

Other than that, I'd like to see links to all news stories that Czerka has posted. That should be regularly updated as well any time there's a new one.

Can you link to those too? I can approve this without it, but I'd like to get your commitment for that anyway.

That is done as well, not all items in the list are linked, as some pertain to the same post :)
