A
key part of any Watch the Skies game is the role of GNN : Global Network
News. This is a dedicated team of players who circulate in th egame, interviewing
and taking notes and then producing regualr news-sheets of the key activities
and events.
And what is reported in the Global News has a big impact on how public opinion is being formed.
REPORTING STYLE
It is fairly easy to run the press corps using tabloid-style shock-horror
reporting. This isn't GNN's style.
The role of world media in public opinion forming runs well beyond this, and GNN reports more in the style of the BBC’s Newsnight programme or The Independent.
