Title: Freedom of the Press?
Description:
@@NAME@@ has recently been criticized by the world for the lack of news coverage on national events occuring within the nation. This has brought about questions of whether or not the @@POPULATION@@ of @@TITLE@@ @@NAME@@ really knows what’s going on nationally or internationally.
Options:
1. “What are these international reports speaking of?” @@RANDOMNAME@@, Press Secretary of @@NAME@@ said in response, “Our government would never deny the people of our country the news of the day, we only share with them what we think they should know. Besides, if the people knew everything our government and politicans did, how on Earth would we be able to get anything done without the world breathing down our backs.”
Effects:All forms of media are under government control.
Statistics:Civil rights lessen immensely and government control tightens
2. “We must know everything going on in @@NAME@@,” shouts @@RANDOMNAME@@ at a rally for freedom of the press, “We must know every little thing going on everywhere to be informed citizens or else we should just go live like those in the Third World who have no idea of what is going on in their country or elsewhere. We must be informed! We must!”
Effects:Media begins reporting every single detail that happens within a country, including: Media reports on the state of your neighbor’s best friend’s brother’s girlfriend’s cousin’s cat's hairball are common.
Statistics:Civil rights increase immensely and the economy rises slightly.
3. “Whadda ya talkin’ ‘bout, yo?” @@RANDOMNAME@@ slurs, “I ain’t want my name in the newz so every brotha’ and his ‘hood knows I stuck it to those kids . I ain’t want my momma findin’ out I be robbin’ suits for their bling bling.”
Effects:Media outlets are outlawed.
Statistics:Crime rises significantly.
