Faction Information
Besides Horizon, the other growing power in the media scene is the Native American Broadcast Service. NABS came into its own with the ground-breaking investigative reporting it did during the Denver Olympics, and it has carried that same spirit on ever since.
Less of a single broadcaster than an umbrella organization of NAN broadcasters, NABS is headquartered in Denver but has regional branches in each NAN member—NABS/SSC in Bellingham, NABS/PCC in El Paso, and so on — who all share the majority of their content.
Most of the content is boring, with public-access drek like weather reports, agricultural reports, nature programs, and so on, but things spice up on the weekend, when the entertainment side takes over. Historical docu-dramas, in-depth breakdowns of wars, and soap operas that feature brave warriors and fierce leaders as far as the eye can see. The budgets are low and the acting hammy, but the costumes are amazing and reflect modern NAN fashion.
The most notable aspect of NABS, however, is the journalistic integrity. NABS is never first to break a story but, when they get there, it’s with evidence, documentation, and crystal-clear honesty laid out for the viewer to digest, rather than feeding into a narrative. Needless to say, every politician winces when a NABS reporter gets called on to ask a question. They’re doggedly determined and better than many at getting to the truth.
Summary
