“A strong unbiased and uninfluenced news channel would allow better knowledge of internal affairs among our people”

Rationale
Strengthen public broadcasting to ensure high-quality, ad-free, multi-channel content accessible to all, funded fairly by general taxation. This would help bolster the entertainment industry for both Solanians and foreigners to enjoy, while increasing competition for domestic firms to innovate.
