Saints News

For Saints, By Saints.

Saints News is a media faction that aims to provide a realistic, immersive and entertaining experience to the server. Born in May 2019, Saints News has grown to be an ever-present influence in the world of media.

Saints News began with humble beginnings - originally intended to act as a local blog about businesses for the people of Los Santos intended to supplement larger media firms, Saints quickly grew into an organisation of its own. Formed by Kalani Jamil, a British Tamil activist, whose past experience in journalism began with writing in a London indo-centric local newspaper. From there, she worked to push the events of the Sri Lankan civil war to the British public, highlighting the travesties performed by the ruling Sinhala government against Tamil people. Moving to Los Santos' following the death of her parents, Kalani Jamil used her experience to begin writing once again, and thus, Saints News was born.

Beginning with the old 'Honest Review' series, Saints News has reported on crime, politics, culture, and sport throughout Los Santos' Metropolitan Area, and is only growing larger. With a diverse list of journalists, like the popular 'Hales Tales' and 'Ezra Writes' series, and a growing number of auxiliary corporate staff, Saints has grown to be one of the largest influencers in San Andreas' media. Saints News is famous for publications such as Motorhead, Day In The Life, Hales Tales, Ezra Writes and the now-defunct Honest Reviews series, a list that'll only continue to grow.

Saints News is an IPSA-Majority Corporation.

Our last article - pieces like such are of great importance even on a macro-scale as it helps build the immersion of the world we're around in if we're confronted by the same reactions and public opinions that one would normally be immersed in, in reality. While not the conventional standard for journalism by any means on a roleplay server, it adds to bring a certain flavour and layer to our collective mindsets on roleplay if we're forced to accept these things as happening and linking them to our characters own experiences with these issues.
