Volksspiegel

Volksspiegel (Ænglish: People's Mirror) is Austro-Caldera's national newspaper, with ties directly to the government and the Volkspartei, allowing it to be the fastest and most accurate reporting newspaper on Caldera's government actions, and Caldera's relationship with foreign nations. The newspaper has had light controversies surrounding its association with the government as opposed to the people, but the head administrator assures that being connected to the government is the only way to make the most efficient newspaper in Caldera.

History
When Derrich Lundsteiner was campaigning for election, he promised that he would start a new program to ensure the government was more open with its citizens. After winning the election in 1924 with majority Volin votes, Lundsteiner immediately put into place a newspaper that would be available in all official languages of Austro-Caldera, and would be a way for the government to describe its intentions to the public.

The Volksspiegel has since been the most popular newspaper in Austro-Caldera by millions, even having loyal international readers thanks to Volksspiegel's simple descriptions and interesting news stories which usually have international impacts.

Controversy
During the Siege of Little Caldera in 2003, Volksspiegel came under fire for taking an explicit side for the Volkspartei and publishing articles that made the Volin militia seem like terrorists.

Many believed that Volksspiegel must be neutral, but the Volkspartei ruled that the Volksspiegel's biggest purpose as a state owned newspaper is to be informative, and its possible to be informative while being biased. Despite the heavy ruling, the Volksspiegel still remains to be mostly neutral except in heavily dividing occasions. The Volkspartei reserves the right to refuse to publish any articles which clearly paint the Volkspartei in a bad light.
