The media sector in the Imperial Republic can be characterised as being mostly free and unregulated, albeit subject to relevant provisions of the Criminal Code and the furious scrutiny of the reigning Steward. Publications, although notionally independent, represent a variety of viewpoints associated with the imperial, state and provincial governments as well as some of the larger corporations.

Shirekeep Gazette

Shirekeep Sentinel

Left-wing periodical with ties to the Reform Movement. Severely critical of the Imperial Government, the noble houses, and the Nationalist and Humanist Party. Insists that Caputia, Craitland, Hoenn, and Natopia are the only "non-awful" or "redeemable" countries on the planet. Popular with the educated middle classes. Has a Culture and Lifestyle section that influences patterns of high-end consumption in spite of ostensibly disapproving of consumerism.

Shirekeep Vindicator

Self-proclaimed "most exciting newspaper of Shireroth". Sensationalist weekly that is frowned upon by Shireroth's bourgeouisie, but is the most well-read paper within the Imperial capital. Focusses mainly on crime, political intrigue and just plain gossip and vulgarity.

Teleradio

Malarbox

Joyful updates from everybody's favourite demon-tree. His capricious demands, made alongside ceaseless threats and bloodcurdling promises of eternal damnation, are rightly legendary.
