Founded in January 2023, the Los Santos Insider ("LSI") has become a dominant media outlet within San Andreas, and operating out of Los Santos. With a objective of providing the general public with reliable, credible, and entertaining content, the LSI strives towards modernizing the media (and news) industry. Some of the content our outlet is most known for are: Local Crime, Investigative, Business & Finance, Sports, Breaking News, and other types of critical opinion pieces.

The Insider is mostly known for its renowned team of journalists, and the incorporation of modernized Stringers operating throughout Los Santos County. Focused on the reliable and credibility of content, the LSI invests in it's ability to obtain local stories, photographs, and footage of things happening within your locality. Equipped with one of the biggest fleet of vehicles in the industry, the outlet also utilizes one of the first and newest approaches: Stringer vehicles to allow our journalists to focus on the content that matters with a sense of job security, the right tools, and a supportive team environment.

LSI is known for some of the most eye catching reports and articles published in the last year such as The AdmireMe Shutdown, Little Seoul Riots, 2023 Mayoral Elections & Inauguration, and some of the most in-depth perspectives of the criminal underworld, all from our perspective for our readers. We are not a traditional media outlet, and neither do we identify as a news agency: we are a passionate team of journalists, photographers, and videographers that share similar traits with one another.. truth, creativity, and thriving to produce the most trustworthy - and eye catching - content throughout the entire City.

Stringers are not well known in Los Santos - and being an open market, the LSI capitalized on the opportunity to support a reliable concept. By providing full time employment, job security, and the equipment needed to get the job done; our team can focus on what matters.. bringing content for you to read, for you to become aware, and for you to form your own opinion.

Stringing isn't a role for the faint of heart. Adrenaline pumps through your veins and there's always the risk of a stray bullet or evading suspect coming too close for comfort. Ultimately, this is something accepted by all undertaking this position, but everyone is trained to remain as safe as is possible when on the job. Your safety is your responsibility, and it is vital to understand where the content is, where it isn't, and what the risk is.

"Our readers deserve factual, credible, and resource based content. They deserve to know what is happening in their locality without obscurity."

(( OOC Information ))

Quick note: LSI is what it is today thanks to the efforts from our founders @Remington and @Degu, but we would like to especially recognize Remington's efforts for the overall management and OOC effort that a news based faction requires to nurture and grow. It requires a lot of effort and dedication to build such a faction and it's a niche field to fill, and yet we've grown and continue to offer and showcase a unique avenue of roleplay.

Thank you @Remington for everything you've done to get us this far and handing the project over to Degu and Lomadias to continue it on. We hope to see you back Stringing sometime in the future!

Insider (LSI, Los Santos Insider) is a Legal Faction focused on preserving media roleplay on GTA World. Our ultimate goal is to achieve a realistic journalist environment of a non-traditional media outlet by focusing on "first hand" reporting, investigative articles, entertaining live broadcasts, and creating a unique experience for players with interest in media and/or journalism roleplay in general. Throughout our time we have been known for finding scenes by complete chance and turning that into actual content for the community to read in an IC Context; but also utilize things such as faction radios, the PIO frequency (communicate with LEO/Fire), and the Flight Radar.

Media roleplay can be time consuming and requires a little more attention in regards to article creation or photography. While we understand this completely ourselves, our Faction has minimal requirements in terms of contribution so that our members can focus on genuine, realistic, and wholesome roleplay development of their character. We do not consider ourselves an entry level Faction, but we welcome anyone who has an eye for journalism, photography, and/or videography. In addition, Insider has a "on demand" Corporate system in place for those who want to roleplay with our Faction, but not necessarily do journalism.

The Los Santos Insider is committed to contributing to community lore and showcasing what our characters see while doing our best to keep media roleplay stimulated. If you are interested and share the same mindset and goals, you are most welcome to apply regardless of your roleplay experience. Proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and the ability to format forum posts (articles, blogs, etc.) are a basic requirement when joining, but are open to teaching the right candidates to make media on GTAW thrive.

Our Faction focuses on Stringing as our main identity, but also encourage traditional journalism such as news reporting, live news, and other concepts. For more of an understanding what a Stringer is, here are some resources:

• Stringers LA: Playlist (YouTube)
• Stringer History (Wikipedia)
• Stringer (Britannica)

Stringers are not traditionally hired to any one organization and are freelance. However, due to niche media RP on GTAW, we built a faction around it with full time, part time or freelance options for characters. We pay for content just like traditional news would pay for a stringer's prime content, but we also want to develop the stringer concept internally to show off the roleplay, so we took a liberty to employ people within the faction.

All of our applications and the employment system is handled through Discord - and is required when joining the Faction. We use discord for IC communications in regards to email threads, notekeeping and also a quota system. As previously mentioned, we are extremely forgiving in regards to a quota because we know how demanding articles and photography can be. We promote you being in game, roleplaying and overall having fun.

Anyone is free to join our discord and will have a basic "public" role unless a client, staff or administrator. Come and say hi!

If you have any queries or concerns, please forward them on to @Degu and @Lomadias.

Los Santos Insider Online is where our outlet's humble beginnings started. Focusing on content creation in the form of articles, photography, and informational pieces our brand slowly became a strong and reliable household name that many citizens of Los Santos turned to for trustful information. Some of our most notable reports include the AdmireMe Shutdown, 2023 Mayoral Elections, Little Seoul Riots, and more.

To support our growing team of photojournalists that had an eye from angles and "being at the right place, at the right time" the LSI introduced a new division for employed photographers. Maintaining one of the biggest databases in the City, our photography division has the most diverse collection in history. From embroiled interactions with law enforcement, local riots, behind the scenes of criminal organizations, and even content focused on the beauty of our City, County, and State - our team has it all.

Our outlet has been working on the concept of LSI Magazine, or branded to "Insider Magazine" since early 2023. Being one of our first pushes for newer content, with our quick expansion this particular division within our outlet has been put on pause. Despite the hold, the brand maintains a placeholder in our family of products and will be released in due time. Showcasing the most popular articles, photographs, events, and influential people, our magazine focuses on things that matter outside of fashion or business reviews.

The Los Santos Media Group is the parent entity for the Insider. Exclusively employing executive management personnel, the Media Group also maintains an active "Board of Representatives" spanning outside of the LSI itself. Inviting top figures in law enforcement, fire, government, and top influential people within Los Santos, the Board has a goal of maintaining trustworthy, transparent, and legal business practices within the State of San Andreas with the effort of being held accountable.

The Media Group also focuses on investments, charity, and supporting local businesses on side ventures.

Stringers: SA is a television show first created in 2023 by renowned journalist and local media man, Gabriel Stone. Striving to give our viewers (and the public) a broader perspective on what happens in our city, but also giving them a first hand taste of what our Stringers experience on a day to day basis. From wild police chases, hostage situations, into the world of the criminal underworld, and showing our own struggles to maintain a foothold in the industry, Stringers: SA gives you the real deal as they risk their lives to give you a front seat view.

LSI FM is a radio station broadcasting 24/7 from within Los Santos at LSI's headquarters in Morningwood. "Today's Hits, Yesterday's Favorites" - our first radio was aimed at entertaining all musical tastes from hip hop, rap, rock, all the way to EDM. There is always something for our listeners to dance or relax too, tune in today by turning to station #__! (Discontinued)
