I have published contemporary news articles from the Sixth World on Reddit for a while now. If you are interested I always update this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Shadowrun/comments...xth_world_news/

A note: most of these are not accurate to the day and often the month (the precise date is often not known) I try to spread them around the year evenly but it also depends on when I find the time. And I don't shy away from conjecture.

That's cool. I do a similar thing every now and then but specific to the campaign I'm running. Mostly I do front pages like this one.

lokii:
Fancy. Of course I'm interested in the remote past of 2019. So instead of neo-printing technology I use the style of a pre-Crash internet forum to present the news items. :D
