Leonida Profile

Weazel News is the most visible media brand in Leonida. The helicopter is in the sky. The ticker is on every bar television. The anchor is in the studio being confident about something that will be revised in the next bulletin without acknowledgment of the revision.

The network takes Vice City's chaos and converts it into a format that a specific Leonida demographic finds satisfying. The chaos is real. The format is Weazel's contribution. The distance between what happened and what Weazel reports happened is the business model.

Weazel News is a constant in Vice City. It has been the in-world media voice on cable news since the city first had one. In Leonida it continues this function with the specific Vice City context: a city where the real events are dramatic enough that editorial processing should be unnecessary, but Weazel processes them anyway, which tells you something about the network.
