1 SANCTARIAN POUND


EDITORIAL - 01/01/16

It's a New Year, and a new Sanctaria. Or at least that's according to the politicians. 2016 does see something new for Sanctaria, and that's the new flag adopted by the people in referendum. A referendum with a low turn-out, marred by confusion, which no-one really wanted. But we had it anyway, and the people chose the third design on offer. Which was basically the current flag with some colours switched around. Plus ça change, and all that jazz.

2016 marks the 98th year that the Sanctarian National Times has been in operation. And that time has flown. We've seen new Digital Editions of our paper established, editions adjusted and specialised for particular regions, and a growth in our highly educated workforce, with reporters who know what they're talking about. 2016 will see us build on this concrete foundation, and allow us to extend into even further niches and domains. News is for the people, and every person should get a chance to know what is going on in the world around them.

This paper will continue to push the boundaries, and will refuse to allow our elected representatives to carry out actions without defending or explaining them. We will continue to push for justice for those who have been persecuted, and will root out corruption wherever we see it. Hearing the voices of the minority is important to us, and we will publish more articles from those in minority communities because it is only through education that we can break barriers of segregation and allow diversity to envelop the populace.

We envision 2016 to be a year full of opportunity for the Sanctarian people, and year for this paper to prove that conventional media is still relevant. Happy New Year.
