The Freedom Ledger

The Ledger is Freedom City's oldest daily newspaper, started in 1847 by Henry Beaumont. It has run for more than 150 years, through wars, disasters, strikes, and more. Even alien invasions and cosmic calamities have failed to delay its publication. The paper’s motto is “All That You Need to Know,” and they take it very seriously.
The Ledger operates in downtown Freedom out of a building equipped with state-of-the-art printing presses and computer equipment. Fletcher Beaumont II is the paper’s publisher, while Jerry Jonas is Editor-in-Chief. Beaumont writes a regular editorial column for the Sunday edition. The publisher has a reputation for expressing his opinion, which has a decidedly liberal bent. The Ledger has always vocally supported the city’s superheroes save for some of the more violent and bloodthirsty vigilantes active during the Moore years.
The Freedom Ledger is published seven days a week, including a larger Sunday edition. It also has an extensive website which provides online content for readers and access to up-to-the-minute news updates and information. The Ledger employs some 2,000 people at its downtown offices, with another 150 or so at its secondary printing plant in Southside. Its primary “bullpen” of some 55 reporters covers state and local news, while the business, sports, and lifestyle departments each have a dedicated staff of five to ten reporters. The paper’s award-winning staff and freelance photographers capture images to accompany the stories both in print and online.
The Freedom Ledger has won several Pulitzer Prizes over the last 150-odd years, including for its coverage of Omega's invasion of the city and the death of The Centurion.
