Federation news service

News reporters at the launch of the USS Enterprise-B

News is the reporting of 'new events', and has been informed to the public in a number of different mediums as technology progresses, such as newspapers and television programs.

Early publication

For main article, see: newspaper.

On Earth, one of the earliest forms of getting news to the general public were newspapers.

News broadcasts

White Sands zero hour

The news broadcasts an early atomic weapons test in 1952

As soon as the television was invented, one of the first broadcast program was the news.

In 1957, the news broadcasted footage of several Atomic weapons tests in White Sands, N.M.. Mestral watched the footage in the Pine Tree bar, in Carbon Creek, Pennsylvania. (ENT: "Carbon Creek")

When Gary Seven arrived on Earth in 1968, he had the Beta 5 computer search news broadcasts to find Agent 347 and Agent 201. It soon found that they had been killed in an automobile accident several days prior. (TOS: "Assignment: Earth")

When Voyager was pulled back to 1996 by a temporal rift created by the Captain Braxton, Ensign Kim assigned Kes and Neelix to watch the various News channels for anything that could help them, including to help find Braxton. At one point, Voyager had to enter a very low orbit to transport Captain Janeway and Chakotay aboard. Unfortunately, they were caught on tape by an man with a video camera in his backyard having a barbeque, and the clip aired on the national news calling it an "unidentified flying object." (VOY: "Future's End")

Later in 2000, Channel Three News reporter Marci Collins (a local station in Portage Creek, Indiana) interviewed Gerald Moss and Henry Janeway during the battle over whether Janeway would sell his store in order to build the Millennium Gate by their deadline - midnight, December 31st, 2000. (VOY: "11:59")

In 2004, a man in Detroit, Michigan named Loomis was assisting a then-unknown employer kidnap people for money (believing them to be terrorists.) He informed his employer, (who was actually Damron, a Xindi-Reptilian that had traveled back in time) that after having abducted several people he thought he heard the mysterious disappearances mentioned on the news. (ENT: "Carpenter Street")

News from planet 892-IV

On planet 892-IV, a culture that resembled a 20th century version of a Roman Empire that never fell, Empire TV televised news programs. These featured events of the day, such as barbarians and Son worshippers being arrested, as well as coverage of gladitorial games. According to Communications officer Uhura, these broadcasts also contained news commentary of questionable effectiveness. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses")

During the Gorkon-assassination crisis in 2293, Valeris reported to Captains Spock and Scott that Azetbur had been named Chancellor of the Klingon High Council, citing that "it was on the news." (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

Several prominent Federation news stations sent reporters to report on the launch of the Enterprise-B. Some of which included the Federation News Network, and the Federation News Service. (Star Trek Generations)

Voyager's return airs on the news for its 10 year anniversary

In an alternate timeline, in 2404 a News program showed a video clip of Voyager's flyby over the Golden Gate Bridge after returning to Earth, in honor of its ten year anniversary, saying...

"These should be familiar images to everyone who remembers USS Voyager's triumphant return to Earth after 23 years in the Delta Quadrant. Voyager captivated the hearts and minds of the people throughout the Federation, so it seems fitting that on this, the tenth anniversary of their return, we take a moment to recall the sacrifices made by the crew."

Also on that same day, they reported that corruption charges had been brought against Ferengi Gaming Commission. (VOY: "Endgame")
