HoloNet News, abbreviated HNN, was a HoloNet channel that provided news across the Galactic Republic's HoloNet. Based on Coruscant, it began publication in 553 BBY.

With the tagline "The Information Sources For The Republic", the publication was segmented into news on business, regional sectors, Jedi, sports, and common Republic life, as well as general news headlines. A number of placed advertisements sponsored the publication and full feed annual subscriptions were available for 45 credits.

Essence was a talk show based on Eriadu. Its host was AndroosinLiann, and it was produced by Garox Tronten.

"Sludgenews" was the term for shallow low-grade "news", which followed celebrities and documented their secret lives for the public to see, published wild stories, and other unreliable petty entertainment. The journalists who made it had to be adept at being sneaky and subtle, to get access to private information.

Coruscant University Press published educational texts and treatises written by the staff of the University of Coruscant

Ugnaught reporters would broadcast live feeds of daily events from within the confines of their floatboat caravans, held aloft by large bladders filled with Tibanna gas.

Featured Holofilms of the month --- Zeltrons in Love was a popular holodrama series, whose production was financed by the Zeltron monarchy to advertise creations of the Zeltron science industry. Characters included Jojo (a fat Devaronian bartender) and Derc (a Zeltron man).

Varn, World of Water was a documentary feature about the planet Varn.

A Galaxy Befuddled was a holodocumentary filmed by Dr. A. Rahring in the last decades of the Old Republic.

Rahring and his team researched about the Dorumaan leviathan, an almost extinct oceanic mammal. Only two living leviathans were known. However, Rahring's documentary brought them to the public's attention.

Soon after the documentary was released, one of the leviathans disappeared. It was suspected that it had been kidnapped by smuggler Rufus Trammel, who probably would try to sell it to one of Rahring's fans.

Groundquake Rocks Aldera

Few injuries, property damage are extent of effects

ALDERA, Alderaan
A groundquake rocked the Aldera area earlier today, causing moderate damage to structures, power outages, and at least fifty injuries. Officials at the University of Aldera's Tectonic Research department have determined that the quake measured 6.8 on the Scale of Tectonic Effect. Police and rescue crews are remaining prepared to possible aftershocks, which may cause landslides from the nearby Polri Mountains.
Officials reported to the Cross-Sector that the groundquake's epicenter was approximately 30 miles southwest of Aldera, under the Onheda Sea. It lasted for approximately 40 seconds, causing damage to stonework, foundations, and some large archways across the city. Reports have come in that the quake was felt as far as 300 kilometers away in Port Capriss.
The quake also shattered windows and caused large cracks in some famous monuments, including statues in the Valejo Balan Gardens, Alderaan's largest botanical gardens. Joh Parcs, director of Valejo Balan Gardens, remarked that "the damage is not severe as we originally thought...it will take some time to repair them, however."
Most buildings in the area were evacuated, including the large Coastal Wizards publishing house. At least 50,000 citizens of Aldera and surrounding areas are without power, but regional power companies expect to have service restored within 12 hours.

This has been Caligula Carissian reporting for the Cross-Sector...
