About Royal News
Royal News was first founded as a newspaper organization shortly after printing became common place in the late 15th century. Printing presses practically spat nation wide information and spread the news all over the Empire. During the last conflicts to unite the entire continent under the TECT banner, Royal News covered war stories straight from soldiers and commanders -- a first in the country's history. News from government, economy, military, and the Royal Family were all covered by the new newspaper. Royal News continued being a leading news organization with paper presses and radio dominating until the 1930's when television became a new world for exploring, which news organizations also took interest in. Royal News was the first news organization in TECT to use television to tell the news; making its debut in 1931 in December, it aired a brief welcoming segment and followed with popular news stories -- lasting about twenty minutes. Royal News would expand to local and regional news and became the largest news organization on air even after other news organizations followed in their footsteps.
Since 1931, Royal News evolved with the times, changing with new trends and trying new ideas. Today, Royal News is described as more of a conservative organization that stays in a centrist view while holding decent favor to conservatives and not favoring anything to far left of the political spectrum; far leftists, anarchists, communists, are especially the target of some news talk show hosts, who target the down comings of these radicals. They also target radical right wingers and anyone going against the Royal Family in too negative fashion; though, some opinion talk shows do discuss everyone in fair light, even the Emperor. Though, Royal News doesn't as much target in bad light specific people or groups who share a similar viewpoint on topics -- that is, outside the general news reporting; talk show hosts favoring conservative values such as small government and the free market system do report and make opinions on topics. Royal News however does employ left ideological people, such as liberal guests, commentators/contributors, and even one talk show host; Royal News does this in order to get a fair report on both right and left viewpoints. Since 2011 though, Libertarians have also grown in staff of the organization including in newspapers, websites, and a talk show on the national channel Royal News has. Most liberals in the TECT government and in other news organizations discourage Royal News because of it's majority conservative foundation and base and has made claims of conservative biases -- though no proof of such has come to lite as solid evidence. Foreign countries have also criticized the news organization as state media and protecting the government; governments such as New Edom, Deadora, and the Shrailleeni Empire have openly condemned the news organization.
Royal News now holds a national newspaper with many operations having regional and local sections to their locations along with national news; a website and splintered off websites by news hosts; Royal News also has channels on local and regional levels; Royal News' main stream of information comes from it's national channel on every provider called Royal News Channel (RNC) that has talk shows, live news, and documentary time slots. The majority of staff and talk show hosts are conservative but there are some libertarians and a few liberals who host or appear often on programs. The most popular of host talk shows is the "Royal Factor" which is hosted by a mostly centrist conservative, Rick Smurden, fifty-eight, who breaks down national events fairly and rationally with a varying amount of guests; Smurden's program is ranked in the top three programs and was ranked first over a dozen times in the past twenty years -- he's hosted interviews with former presidents, government figured, and has had several interviews with the past two Emperors in recent years. Royal News today commonly report on national and international news while having lower operations on regional & local news formats.
