Esthursian News Central
Esthursia has a wide range of free media outlets; the largest two, the Daily Herald and Atlish Times, have typically supported each major party (the Social Democrats and Conservative Union [who are now Moderates] respectively) each election, though numerous exceptions exist. The ENBC, the state broadcaster, is politically independent and well-renowned.Esthursian News Central
ENBC - Esthursian National Broadcasting Channel
Founded in 1928, the Esthursian National Broadcasting Channel was part of a wider effort by the incumbent Workers' Union government to create an impartial, objective news provider; this opened out into media, culture, sports and television programmes, with publicly-funded media being produced. ENBC controls ENBC TV, a channel of specifically independent media and TV for non-profit reasons, mainly to promote culture. Otherwise, ENBC is a publicly-funded organisation, funded through a mixture of inheritance, general taxation and revenue made on international broadcasts. It is politically independent, however has been accused by some on the right of being "biased" towards the Social Democrats.
