Media

The Media. You can't live with them, you can't shoot them (legally). While technology has raced along at breakneck speeds, the Media industry simply incorporated it and kept going. Leading the wave of home entertainment and "You Are There" journalism, the modern media megacorporation employs thousands of reporters—ranging from tabloid hacks, to swarming paparazzi, to news anchors, to trained combat journalists and talk show hosts.

Be it a corporate cover-up in the South China Sea, a drug war in the jungles of Columbia, a bombing in Berlin, or a humanitarian piece from your local Taco Hut—Anywhere there is a story to be told to the entertainment-overloaded population, the Media will be there to tell it.
