The Newspapers

The Neverwinter Chronicle

The Chronicle is the "Paper of Record" of Neverwinter; if you read one paper, you read the Chronicle. Unfortunately. Among the more politically astute residents of the city, it's known for having an extreme slant in favor of the White Council, not just in the editorial pages but extending to redacting and even falsifying the news. In fact, it was recently purchased outright by Councillor Feywinter, who is infamously un-shy of using it as her personal propaganda organ.

Neverwinter Daily News

The Daily News prints the truth that nobody else will! Examples of such truths include "it is not in fact the White Council but the Wight Council, an undead menace infiltrating our fair city!" Owned, edited, and mostly written by Alexander Sinmouth.Sinmouth. Despite the rather enormous grain of salt one must take with anything writen in the Daily News, it offers some surprisingly insightful nuggets of true and honest reportage; Sinmouth may be a little odd, but he is dedicated to the journalist's craft.

The Neverwinter Free Press

The Free Press was founded by Henry Lillen and Taran Miraleth to expose the misdeeds of the white council. Less a full-fledged newspaper and more a Voice of the Resistance, it circulates intermittently when Lillen is able to find a place to hide his press that won't immediately be raided by the Council, and is read only furtively.

The Neverwinter Voice

The Voice is a fledgling newspaper founded by Dea of the Bounty Hunter's Guild with the mission of providing a newspaper that doesn't ape the Council party line, but is also not a mere resistance pamphlet. The operations of the news organization are (literally and figuratively) semi-underground to protect the staff from intimidation and harm by the White Council, but the paper itself is widely and openly distributed. The Voice emphasizes stern editorial independance, not just in reporting news the Chronicle won't touch but in "frank editorial, critics who don't dine free, and society pages that won't try to tell you Lord Mumblewinter was just tired."
