I need in-character news stories for fleet Radio
« on: 28 September 2008 08:29 PM »
I have seven new Fleet Radio songs and need some in-character news stories to read for them based on the current timeline from Cryptic.

News, sports, weather, road reports, politics, lifestyle.... anything you can think of.
---

topics I'm working on:
 - Faction fighting on the Klingon/Romulan border: Student protests, embassy attacks, marches, UFP flag burning.

- Leaders of faith movements getting together to discuss creation topics. de-classified Starfleet documents may indicate many discovered worlds are tooooo similar in the way they developed.  The general public is getting wind of the race called the preservers.

-have the empires met GOD!?  Being known as 'Q' has been encountered by members of all faiths from all empires. Being claims to have been present at time of galaxy creation.

- Public fighting to have more UFP/Starfleet records de-classified.

------
What is the current political situation with Bajor, Cardassia, the Breen, the founders, etc.

Sports: Do we still play sports. What would be big news?
Economics: What is the state of the UFP economy?

Human interest stories?
-----------

I can read these news stories myself or if anyone wants to get into the spirit of things and record their own news as a 'field reporter' I can cut away to your reports:  "For first hand coverage on this subject we go to UFP field reporter _____________ who is on the scene".

To try and make it sound like actual news reports.
----------

Something to consider:  NOT everything WE know about Star Trek through the shows has filtered down to all Starfleet members and even less to the civilian populations of the UFP.    We may know about the 'Preservers', the Q, the idea that Earths ancient races went to the stars...but does the general public?

 Not entirely sure what you are looking for here Kinneas. As you are aware, baseball was still being played in 2372 ( ? ) by the Pike City Pioneers and the Cestus Comets. This occurs on Cestus III. Would they still play games 30 years later? Who knows for sure... except Cryptic.
 Political events would abound through-out the galaxy. Same as in RL. As to a UFP economy...what exactly was their economy based on?

Wars are always on the news, so a tensions are rising with the klingons article might be interesting. Like BLZBUB said baseball could be cool. There could always be ion storm reports, tribble infestations on a planet and maybe a breakout of a new disease

  Sounds like a fun idea!

  How about a Federation olympics? surely there would be one. No doubt there would be many different events after all this time. How about the winter Olympics on Andor?

  As for reports, Me and my brother used to do stuff like that when we were kids, we'd make up our own crazy reports and record them on cassette tape and play them back afterword. Of course most of those field reporters in our recordings usually ended up in hospital by the end of the broadcast lol.

This is a nice idea. How many words would be one minute? I have a tendency to write too much. I have tomorrow off for Martin Luther King jr. so I can whip something up.

There is a lot to report on in the vein of inter-fleet relations right now.  The Feds have some specific Fed targets, and the Klingons and Romulans are at each others throats.
