The North Dovani Media Journal is an organization dedicated to the gathering of news across the multiple news sources in the nation the North Dovani. This includes translating both Draddwyr and Kyo articles, online posts and newspapers into Luthorian for you to be able to read and keep up with the latest information coming out of the nation. While we go through multiple newspapers, magazines, journals, and even popular blogs that all produce content we have decided that we will be introducing some of what will be the more common outlets and bloggers we will be translated and appearing on our Media Journal. We will also write a description about these outlets and what to expect coming from them usually.
The Daily News
It's what you expect from a newspaper called the Daily News, it's news about the daily events in the nation and the people who inhabit it. From our time collecting and translating multiple sources of news in North Dovani, the Daily News has the best record when it comes to minimizing biases and just reporting the facts. While it sometimes falls into sensationalism, that's the faith of anything if the story is ripe enough for it to be sensationalized. However, the Daily News has shown they do their best to keep that from happening beyond a certain point. If you want an outlet that just tells you the facts or stats to a situation and nothing else so you can form your own opinion about them, the Daily News is the most non-politicized option.
The Banner Chronicles
The Banner Chronicles started out as a series of independent and self-published think-pieces posted online and written by a Joe Banner, the pseudonym of one Arthur Bellis. Arthur Bellis was a professor for Morgan University in the North Dovanian capital of Lehull during the early 3400s, the height of tensions between the Draddwyr and Kyo populace in the northern parts of Dovani (mainly in the nations of Dranland and North Dovani). Under the name of Joe Banner, Bellis wrote a series of papers which the public referred to as the Banner Chronicles, to which this now major publication got its name. After a while of creating these papers and self publishing them online writing about how both sides were becoming both too militarist and hatred between the two ethic groups growing too fast. As a result of this message, even today as a more corporate entity, that message of equality is still present in the progressive news sites. Due to their mass appeal over both the Draddwyr and Kyo populations during the site's inception during the 3400s, the Banner Chronicles has become the largest and most successful among the online news organizations. However, the site is very much a place of progressive ideologies and liberalism due to the nature of its creation.
The Patriot
The Patriot (or y Gwladgarwr) is a news site ran by and for the Draddwyr speaking populace. In contrast to the Banner Chronicles, the Patriot is a very conservative site that mainly, and to a degree only, to the Draddwyr members of North Dovani. This is the case to the point where there are no official translation of their articles and think-pieces into Kyo. While the Patriot itself doesn't seem to hold any negative feelings towards the Kyo minority, some of the writers for the site have been accused of being a Draddwyr supremacist. One of the main targets of this claim, while a freelance writer, is a regular writer for the Patriot who goes by Bedo Shone. Shone hasn't ignored these claims either, regularly stating in interviews and social media that people 'tend to confuse ethic pride with ethic supremacy'. "I'm proud of who I am. I'm proud of being Draddwyr and I'm proud of our culture." said Stone in a radio show where the host brought up the accusations, "I don't believe I'm better than anyone else because I'm Draddwyr. That belief comes from other things." Along with lead editor Robat Mattox and the only female writer for the Patriot Briallen Pride, Bedo Shone have become figures in the Draddwyr supremacist movement in the nation despite their public disclaims of the ideology.
The Northern Post
In a similar way to the Patriot, the Northern Post (or 북부 포스트/Bugbu Poseuteu in Kyo) is a newsletter aimed at the Kyo population. They also don't release official translations of their articles in Draddwyr like the Patriot does for Kyo, but the Northern Post is more active about this to even go as far as denouncing unofficial translations of their work (the Northern Post has written a couple of articles about the North Dovani Media Journal translating their work into Luthorian as well). The editor-in-Chief of the Northern Post, Son Chang-Woo, is a known member of the Kyo Nationalist Front, a Kyo supremacy group in North Dovani. While the Patriot tries to hide its biases to a degree, the Northern Post makes no such attempts as all the writers for the paper are also members of the KNF. As such, the Northern Post ends up making news based on what they write as much as they report on said news. At the end of the day, in contrast to the Daily News, the Northern Post is one of the most biased and tilted news outlets in the nation.
