Maybe I shouldn't have left?

Article posted on the Galactic News Service by Doc Jessa on Day 183 of Year 11.

The following message has been relayed through the communication channels of Fuzz Inc. via the realm of the Binaros Smuggling Alliance...

Sentients need news to keep them informed. Whether it's a casual update of a governments construction projects throughout their sectors, a corporation's acquisition of a former competitor, or a booming report on the economy, sentients need regular updates. In recent times however, the galaxy has been stripped of all independent information feeds and sources, and has been forced to rely on ruling governments and criminal organizations to pollute the hologrid with single minded propaganda irrelevant to most, and ignored by all. Doc Jessa reporting again for Fuzz Inc. with the aim of putting the information organizations of the galaxy to shame, helping them realize their failures and pitfalls, allowing them to finally leave the galaxy forever, or improve their sources and actually strive to keep the galaxy informed.

Since the beginnings of the ninth year in recognized galactic time, Bothan Media Services graced the corporate stage with a renewed vision for informative news and corporate research. With strong ideals and goals to give the galaxy an improved source of news and information, Bothan Media Services began to follow the traditional organizational trend for a newsgroup, releasing quality news at an alarmingly slow rate, frustrating stakeholders with broken promises and delusions of grandeur. As time continued to pass, the information only became less frequent to public eye, and minimal news and information could be drawn from each individual piece. Desperate to hug the limelight once again, they released a number of articles in the beginning of the eleventh year that were abruptly crucified by news readers throughout known space. With minimal structure and poor quality, the pieces were immediately discarded into the abyss of space causing a number of once loyal readers to abandon holofeed subscriptions and scour the galaxy for a new information source. It has been reported by a number of galactic sentients throughout the Stenness Node that Bothan Media Services has changed its corporate structure and philosophy without consulting its stakeholders. Seemingly moving away from information gathering, the company has abruptly decided to increase its construction efforts throughout known space. A Wookiee traveler on vacation throughout the Stenness Node reportedly witnesses a number of illegal manoeuvres by Bothan Media Services. Withholding his name due to fear of retribution or prosecution, the Wookiee further known throughout the article as Fuzzball detailed a disturbingly large amount of extortion throughout their construction efforts including illegally obtaining properties and land throughout populated government sectors and extorting ownership back to the ruling governments in exchange for proprietary technology. Forget the information business as they're obviously no good at it, but what about consulting their stockholders or gathering public opinion before conducting this shadowy move throughout the galaxy?

While Bothan Media Services continues unethical construction efforts despite their corporate identity, Courier Communications persists in neglecting their ideals of information and attempts to create a conglomerate instead. With Chief Executive Officer Aeonian Masha constantly moving between corporate entities, the vision of the man is no doubt looking up towards the horizon, however the quality control of the founding company only appears to be heading in the opposite direction - down towards the galactic sewers. While the company strives to provide an information source, it fails to conduct regular holofeed analysis on its viewers and their opinions of their articles and intelligence. Perhaps the corporation has made a positive move for a change, deciding not to invest credits in such an analysis as it already knows that viewers stopped reading months ago. While the flow of articles seems to have abruptly stopped, a number of disgruntled sentients have become angered over the control of their work that has been submitted for galactic holofeed submission. One Bothan writer commented that his reputation had been destroyed after Courier Communications amended his article without approval and submitting the addendums, causing uproar from his readers and considerable financial detriment. With their own disapproval skyrocketing out of the atmosphere, does Courier Communications still believe they know what's best when it comes to editing articles? If so, perhaps they need a new line of work.

With the quality of news and information decreasing dramatically, it's a chance for all sentients far and wide to consider investing in education. The recently opened University of Naboo continues to offer informative courses on Galactic Basic as an undergraduate course to improve a sentients language abilities and also provides an introduction into Press Releases and other holofeed courses. As their courses are available at affordable rates to both on and off campus students, the courses are easily accessible. The Robin Hood School of Culture, known by all throughout the galaxy as the education school of the Hapes Consortium, is another premier source for education. Being one of the oldest education establishments in the galaxy, the Robin Hood School continues to offer members and citizens of the Hapes Consortium a quality education. We were able to speak with Rai`ix Chume Alex Tylger, Ruler of the Hapes Consortium and founder of the Robin Hood School of Culture to get his views on how the education system works. "The purpose of the Robin Hood School of Culture is to give prospective new citizens of the Hapes Consortium a complete overview of our history, culture, structure, and legal system. That way we can better integrate individuals of foreign ethnicity in to our society. What we also see is that the three entrance exams discourage those who are unwilling to put in anything more than the bare minimum to collect a paycheck, weeding them out at the very beginning." Despite the school being an exclusive education system for the Hapes Consortium, it helps push citizens to do their best work all the time, and achieve to the best of their ability.

With news sources growing more silent overtime and with the current news organizations changing paths without consultation, one must ask...Where's the news? Fuzz out.
