[[Daxian News Network]] | See also: [[Daxian News Network]] | ||
Mass media is of great importance to the Daxian government, and for this reason it is not merely seen as a way to transmit news to the public but as an instrument of state control. The instrumentalization of the news began as soon as the [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]] climbed into the driver's seat. By the early 1990's the government had begun to both loosen and lose its control of the media, who in decades prior had been ironclad in their loyalty to the system. The [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]] quickly saw this editorial freedom as completely unacceptable and counterproductive to its long term goals. The security organs began a fierce 'downsizing' of the various media conglomerates of Daxia until only nubs remained. These remnants were taken over by the state and consolidated into the [[Daxian News Network]], a mass media company that would become a behemoth under government tutelage. | |||
