The Gotham Globe

A History
The Gotham Gazette was founded with a noble goal, the documentation of the heroic efforts of Mystery-men across the globe. It was founded by businessman Edward Eliot with that goal at the forefront of its every action, and for a long time it seemed that it was a business model that would work wonders.

Following the Battle Of New York, and the destruction of their main office branch the company was left in complete tatters. It's printing presses were completely destroyed and most of its employees had been lost in the buildings collapse. What few members of staff that survived struggled right along with Edward Eliot in an attempt to keep the doors open, operating out of a small warehouse on city limits, but it proved fruitless.

Bankruptcy seemed completely inevitable until the appearance of John Jonah Jameson, who following a recent inheritance bought the company for himself and completely turned it around. In doing so however he completely changed the direction of the company rebranding it as the Gotham Globe, and turning it from a full sized newspaper printed weekly to a daily tabloid covering condensed news stories from other agencies and a number of articles made in house. Despite a drastic dip in the quality of their reporting the agency flourished like never before.

Along the way they developed a friendly rivalry with the Daily star, occasionally trading blows back and fourth in their reporting. The new direction of the company saw it become a highly vocal supporter of minority rights, and a direct opponent of organized crime. This has lead to multiple occasions over the years since it's rebranding on which reporters with the agency have been eliminated by the mafia, or come very close. In spite of the attacks the mantra of the agency has hardly changed in the slightest since.

On the flip-side the papers coverage of mystery-men and powered individuals who use their powers to 'take the law into their own hands' has become increasingly hostile and accusatory. With the agency releasing hitpiece after hitpiece against the credibility of heroes at large, going so far as to place blame for The Great War squarely on their shoulders.
