The Imperial News Bureau was originally founded as the Imperial News Service (INS) following the reorganization of the [[Galactic Republic]] into the Empire.  Experimental newsletters (such as the Soldier's Journal) and Holonet broadcasts were instant successes and the INS experienced dynamic growth right from its conception.

Editors review and approve of articles for publication in their respective sub-department of INB. They are also expected to contribute to various INB activities.
 
 
 
Senior writers, veteran journalists of INB, are usually given first pick for articles, being known as reliable and talented writers, as well as being assigned leads deemed too tasking for less-experienced writers. However, they typically do most of their own investigating and reporting. Senior writers are qualified to write articles for all INB mediums and have few, if any, restrictions placed upon them. They are also tasked with mentoring younger journalists.
 
 
 
Correspondents make up the backbone of INB. They are often tasked with working on various aspects of the [[Iron Will]] or articles that will be published as holonews. They are usually assigned a topic to work with and are given free reign to research and develop their article in their own way. 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 writers are the newest members of INB, having passed a mentorship with a senior writer before officially becoming part of the INB staff. They are stilll supervised and watched over by senior staff members. They are usually given the routine, mundane articles, tasked with gathering information for another writer or collaborating with another writer on lengthy articles.
 
 
 
In addition, all planetary-based news organizations, such as the Bothan News Bureau and the Coruscant News Network, are administratively organized as an extension of INB.

The Imperial News Bureau is led by an Editor-in-Chief, who coordinates with the heads of all planetary-based news organizations, such as the Bothan News Bureau and the Coruscant News Network, and is responsible for making important news available through all mediums to Imperials, regardless of their location and status within the galaxy.

History

The Imperial News Bureau was originally founded as the Imperial News Service (INS) following the reorganization of the Galactic Republic into the Empire. Experimental newsletters (such as the Soldier's Journal) and Holonet broadcasts were instant successes and the INS experienced dynamic growth right from its conception. Shortly afterward, the INS expanded into daily newspapers and broadcasts available first in Imperial-sympathetic territory then galaxy-wide.

After the formation of the Ministry of Truth, the INS was placed under its jurisdiction. With Hiyo Rogo, and then Jathrin Thoyan, as the Editor-in-Chief, the Imperial News Service was reorganized to have individual directors of the Imperial Gazette (the Empire's newsmagazine), the Imperial Holovision, and Imperial Radio (directed by Stefan Skyreaper). The positions of Correspondent, Senior Writer and Junior Writer - indicating the experience and responsibilities of INB's journalists - were established during this time. The Minister of Truth decided to change the news organization's name to the Imperial News Bureau and its magazine, the Imperial Gazette, to the Iron Will.

After the dissolution of the Ministry of Truth, INB became a department of the Coalition for Progress.
