Event

From Traveller Wiki - Science-Fiction Adventure in the Far future

Event, LIC is a news, information and entertainment conglomerate. It is made up of everything from news research teams, authors, composers and entertainers to production, distribution and broadcast facilities. For example, a weekly investigative news program could involve researchers, interviewers, a production crew, a distribution company for the finished product and a chain of broadcast stations all of which are owned by Event. Event also tailors its products to specific tech levels. A book which is published in hard copy form on a low tech world is distributed as a holocrystal on a more advanced one. Broadcast stations employ radio, television or beamcast depending on the local tech level. Finally, Event is also a licensed distributor for the Travellers' Aid Society News Service. The various businesses which make up Event are scattered across Zarushagaar and in 1120 there is no central corporate headquarters.

Naturally, being geared for the distribution of information, Event is closely watched by the ruling local faction to insure that only "proper" information is transmitted to the public.
