In Good News, you take on the role of a chief editor tasked with transforming a struggling newspaper. Use your skills to correct drafts, shape news tones, and outmaneuver shady politicians during an electoral year, all while growing your audience.
About this game
You are the chief editor of a growing newspaper. Correct drafts from your writers, decide which news make it to the frontpage and their tone. Make audience numbers go up and be loyal to their interests, or instead favour important figures and win their love or their hate in this ever-changing world
Guide the narrative
Stories can be told in many ways. As a chief editor, you get to decide which. Will you try to please your audience? Will you be sensationalistic? Or you'll try to steer the narrative in a direction that suits a possible ally?
Correct the drafts from your writers
A variety of drafts will come in each day for different sections of the newspaper. It's your job to make sure they are fit to publish. Any mistakes will make your newspaper look unserious and affect readership
Make the newspaper reach the top ranks
The CEO of 'The Citizen' trusts that your vast experience and skills will help the newspaper grow large enough to compete with the big fish. You'll need to meet recurrent objectives, or otherwise face layoff
Keep an eye on your back
Be careful who you mess with. Some people have more power and fewer scruples than what you think. Everyone is just a pawn here. Choose your allies -and your enemies- wisely
