Circulation of the Moon is most heavily concentrated in Hanoram, the District of Coīnvra, southern Váuadra, and northern Ventarya, though it is a common offering at newsstands as far afield as Trinatria, Castera, and Etivéra. It is regarded as the premier source for news on Hanoram state politics, economic and social topics germane to the Míhanska Bay region, Primóra professional sports, and collegiate sports elsewhere in Hanoram. However, despite its emphasis on Hanoram, the Moon also reports on national and international topics. Due to the proximity of Primóra to Kartika and the importance of federal spending to Hanoram's economy, the Moon has become a well-respected source for news on federal politics, and is believed to have more reporters assigned to Kroveniren Hall and the Stanora than any other regional newspaper.
Style
The Moon is written in Ixtikiravirona or "High Kiravic", a conservative literary register of Kiravic Coscivian that emulates the style and syntax of High Coscivian and avoids the use of foreign loanwords and corporate or popular neologisms. It has no international edition, but does publish a Latin version translated directly from the original Kiravic.
Most Moon articles, especially breaking stories and those on political topics, do not have individual bylines, and (as with many other Kiravian papers) its columnists write under noms de plume. This policy was adopted under the editorship of Stradivarius Lárrapin in the 2XXX0s in order to enhance the impression that the paper was written with a single voice, and also to discourage what he saw as "award-chasing" behaviour by his reporters. Today, articles on cultural, literary, and international topics do have bylines.
