Starfleet News Service

The Starfleet News Service is a department of the Federation Starfleet. Its mandate is to provide less formal media for the interest of Starfleet personnel.


 * The Starfleet News Service is distinct from any Federation media (such as the similarly-named Federation News Service), which probably have less strictures in re potential embarrassment to Federation institutions, interstellar security, etc. I assume that the Starfleet News Service is similar in form and function to the American military department that provides Stars and Stripes and the Armed Forces Radio and Television Network.

In 2375, Starfleet News Service correspondents travelled to several differernt Federation, allied and non-allied worlds (and even the Q Continuum) to report and write feature articles for print or produce feature segments for broadcast. (Star Trek: New Worlds, New Civilizations)
