Global Earth News Service

From EC World

History

The Global Earth News Service was formed in the early 1980s as a response to a changing international stage. With the collapse of the United Kingdom several decades before, and nations like the Republic of Southern Africa and the Empire of the Rising Sun gaining more power daily - a global news service was established.

Under the direction of Company President, Samuel A. Pearson, the Global Earth News Service has created 15 television stations, seventy-two newspapers and countless radio stations across the globe. GENS is the primary source of news information for the world, as it currently stands.

GENS did not gain popular attention until 1992, when the network covered a high profile case involving the formation of a new international organization known as "Project SHARD." Under the direction of Pearson, GENS was able to gain strong support from the SHARD leaders, and presented to the world a documentary entitled "Life of the Project."

Now, a decade later, GENS is the leading news service in the world, specializing in mutant monitoring and reporting. The news service prints a weekly paper, dedicated solely into "mutant news" - major events worldwide, and in various regions across the Confederacy and Dominion.

The well known slogan for the GENS brand of networks is "there for the people."

Featured Reporters

• Colin Faith - Colin was the first GENS reporter to cover the rather unexpected destruction of San Francisco in early 2001. Reporting from Toronto, Colin is said to have reported on the tidal wave and eventual evacuation of survivors for over seventeen hours. Considered one of the most high profile reporters for GENS, he is regularly featured reporting on mutant cases throughout the Dominion of Canada.

• Lana Weaver - A political reporter for GENS, Lana was based in the Dominion of Canada on October 24th, 1999. While reporting on a diplomatic conference that was underway in Toronto, Lana witnessed the assassination of President Myranda Winters at the hands of Eternal Shadow terrorist leader, Xolotl. Lana Weaver and her faithful camera-man both lost their lives shortly after the assassination as Xolotl made his escape from the Dominion.
