The news industry in Redmont is a branch of the media industry. It includes in-game newspapers and web-based news distribution such as via Discord, YouTube, and websites.
History
The first #news-based newspaper was Democracy Daily, founded by Westray in late August 2020. Other early news outlets active in 2020 include The Hamilton Times, The Atrium Tribune, and Central Frequency News.
From 2021 to 2022, the industry matured. Politico emerged, as did The Redmont Journal, The Daily Chip, Royal Eagle News, and Resling News. From 2022 to 2024 the industry remained relatively the same, with new outlets emerging and old outlets becoming inactive.
In 2024, the news industry saw a decrease in activity. Outlets such as Virtus News, The Daily Chip, MouseCorp News, and ColonelKai's Theory & Politika Redmont were promiment, as well as the satirical The Radish. xEndeavour's Politico shifted toward more biased reporting and Redmont Media was directly operated by the Patriotic Coalition of Redmont-funding nonprofit Redmont for Equal Citizens.
2025 saw a resurgence in activity in the industry and the establishment of new outlets, due in part to the Trolligarch wave. In January, The Reveille Times made its debut and quickly became a leading source of news and information. The Reveille Times publishes its articles to its website, inspiring other outlets, such as Alexandrian News and Paper News to do the same. Later in the first half of the year outlets such as MSMBS News and satirical newspapers such as DC Truth Daily, Georg Street, and GnomeCorp arrived.
