History
Creation
Founded as a successor to the Imperial Holovision, the Imperial News Service became the central news organization in the Empire. Its early successes were an Imperial Newsletter(Soldier's Journal) and News broadcasts on State Holovision.
Expansion and Challenges
(Pre-reform era info goes here.)
Reforms and Reactions
(Description of Hiyo's reforms and the suspension of GNS operations)
The Light of Truth
When Imperial High Command announced that the Ministry of Truth and Dissemination had been resurrected, the INS was now under the jurisdiction of the revived Ministry. In another shocking twist, the new Minister of Truth announced that the Imperial News Service would become the Imperial News Bureau and that the Imperial Gazette would have the traditional name Iron Will. The INB eagerly awaits the day that they will be able to resume GNS Operations.
Departments
The INB is divided into several sub-departments. each sub-department has its own leader, but they all report to the Editor-in-Chief.
Imperial Holovision
(Editor: TBA)
The INB has a dedicated team of reporters ready to broadcast the news when it happens. This division is dedicated to broadcasting over Imperial Holonet and is accessible on the Imperial Holosite via the News Grid.
Imperial Bi-Weekly News
(Editor: TBA)
The INB broadcasts to all Galactic citizens through the Galactic News Service. Bi-weekly broadcasts update galactic citizens on the latest news.
<As per a directive issued by Editor-in-Chief Rogo, GNS Operations have been suspended until further notice.>

Ranks:

Editors
Responsible for overseeing each division of the Bureau.They edit all submissions for content in their respective division.The only exception is that the head of Imperial FM is known as the Program Director.
Senior Writer
Usually having been in the INB for a long time, or having demonstrated exceptional skill and talent, senior writers will usually be given the significant requested articles, as well as provided with potential leads that are deemed too tasking/time consuming for a correspondent. They will, however, be required to do much of their own investigation and reporting. Consequently, the leads page is to be used as a last resort for stories by those recognized as senior writers. In most cases, senior writers will be asked to work on the GNS release pending it's renewal. Senior writers are handpicked by the Ministry of Operations liaison and the EiC, with recommendations made by individual editors.
Correspondent
INB members who have been through the basics and understand how the INB works, but have yet to either demonstrate the skills required of a senior writer or are just too new to the scene to be sent out on their own. Correspondents will most often be tasked with working on various aspects of the Iron Will or on INB articles. In most cases, they will be provided with a basic topic to work with, and given the chance to develop individual information gathering/reporting styles. More often than not, correspondents will be directly working with an editor to provide the material that is being worked on. Correspondents are INB members who have passed the stage that requires direct supervision, but are still directed by editors.
Junior Writer
New to the INB, junior writers are those who require direct supervision and regular checking-on. Common jobs for junior writers include: basic articles with straightforward information, gathering information for another writer, and working with straightforward information, gathering information for another writer, and working with writers on lengthy articles.
