The Hyperlane Herald
Known as 'The Herald' by most, or the 'HH' for short, the Hyperlane Herald is a galaxy-spanning tabloid newspaper and holo-service based on Corellia. Established many centuries ago, it is a 'bastion of journalism', and maintains this lofty status by employee cheap-and-cheerful freelancers, desperate to add their paper to their bibliography.
Offer industry average pay, and modest expenses covered, the Herald is a paper journalist of all stripes would die to work for, and rumour has it, many do.
Whilst initially a print paper, as times changed the paper moves into an online format, which articles sent into the newsfeeds of the unwary, littered with adverts and pop-ups asking for donations, appearing on your social media feeds, or on the all-inclusive 'Herald App'. It even hosts a holonet new show, with its news teams always being the first on the scene of an attack, a gala, or a celebrity falling out of a cantina at three in the morning.
Despite its 'amazing record', the Herald has unfairly garnered a reputation as a rag, twisting the truth to increase its click rate, and make more of that sweet sweet ad money.
Fortunately, the paper has a great legal team, that occupies a large space station of the Corellian moon, and is quite happy to sue anyone who says this out load, into bankruptcy.
Intent
To provide a bit of background, and a possible employer, for the journalist characters out there.
