Wavelength is a daily newspaper publication produced and distributed in T'vaqi. It is the nation's most read newspaper and, by proxy, most popular source of domestic and international news. The newspaper is published under the Wavelength Media Company.
History
The Wavelength Media Company was created on 12-1 49 TT after a merger involving two companies. The first, a small-scale manufacturer of printers, was founded by High Priest Doqha Hoqo only five years prior. The second, a failing business specializing in communication technology, was acquired by Hoqo's printer business. Hoqo initially named the new company Signal after the signal puncher, but switched to the Wavelength moniker to capitalize on newly-invented radio technology.
The company has been managed by the Hoqo family since its inception. The Wavelength Media Company is the third-largest company in T'vaqi, and the nation's most valuable newspaper distributor.
Newspaper
Wavelength is published and distributed daily. Newspapers can be separated into daily publications and midweek specials. Daily publications are, on average, fifty pages long including advertisements. Midweek specials, issued on the fifth day of each ten-day week, can extend up to 100 pages in length, and typically have specially designed cover pages. Midweek specials are the most popular type of Wavelength newspaper, as the fifth day of a week is nationally recognized as an off-work day for non-essential employees. Wavelength delivers its newspapers daily; a household can pay a fee of 11 qhi per week to receive all daily newspapers, or 7 qhi to receive only the midweek special. Individual newspapers are additionally sold in most grocery markets for a small price, typically 3 qhi or fewer.
Wavelength papers most prominently feature articles relating to current events, both domestically and internationally. While largely nonpartisan when covering domestic news, Wavelength articles tend to take a pro-isolation stance with regards to immigration, trade, and foreign relations. Opinion pieces arguing for higher foreign involvement are occasionally featured in the paper, but are rarely placed near the front page. In some cases, papers may be translated to another language besides standard T'vaqi; notable examples of this include the coverage of Dux Barozzo's flee from La Rossa and the Goyhalnan invasion of Tokšahalna. Articles relating to current trends and popular culture are also featured in the newspaper.
