| The news service attends press conferences held by President [[Laura Roslin]] aboard ''[[Colonial One]]'' or with Commander [[William Adama]] and his command staff aboard ''Galactica'' in the [[Pilot Ready Room|pilots' ready room]]. While President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]] tends to utilize them to her benefit at times and has a good relationship with the press corps ("[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]," "[[Home, Part I]]"), neither Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] nor Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] are particularly adept at managing the deep and candid questions of the press following Roslin's arrest {{TRS|Home, Part I}}.

| |
| [[The News-Review]] print publication collects current news regarding the presidential election {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II}}. Journalists and politicians in the Fleet also use a wire service called the [[Colonial Dispatch]], notable for moderating and covering the presidential debates between [[Gaius Baltar]] and incumbent Laura Roslin {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I}}.
| |
|
| |
| Following the resumption of their journey post-[[Second Exodus]], the Fleet News Service continues onward with reporting; an interview of Vice President [[Tom Zarek]] is conducted by McManus via Talk Wireless {{TRS|Sine Qua Non}} and various journalists later cover the [[Gaius Baltar|trial of Gaius Baltar]] {{TRS|Crossroads, Part I|Crossroads, Part II}}.

| == ''Colonial Dispatch'' ==
| |
| The '''''Colonial Dispatch''''' is a wire service used by journalists and politicians in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]].
| |
|
| |
| Following the first presidential debate, [[Tory Foster]] reads a news report to [[Laura Roslin]] from the ''Colonial Dispatch'':
| |
|
| |
| : ''Last night's debate only solidified the perception that [[Gaius Baltar|Doctor Baltar]], for all his charm, is essentially an empty suit when it comes to matters of substantial policy.'' {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I}}

| |
| Other publications like the ''{{Inlineref|Colonial Report}}, {{Inlineref|Colonial Military Report}}, {{Inlineref|Colonial Update}}'', and ''{{Inlineref|Cylon Watch}}''—most containing speculation about the Cylons' nature and their infiltration of [[The Fleet (TRS)|the Fleet—]]<nowiki/>were acquired by [[Sesha Abinell]] following [[Ray Abinell|her husband's death]]. The widespread legitimacy of these publications, distributed by the {{Inlineref|Colonial Media Coop}}, is in question, as they verge into deleterious conspiracy theories. In one particular instance, the fixation of partial facts relating to [[Sharon Agathon|the presence of a second Sharon Valerii]] in the Fleet drives Abinell and a handful of conspirators to a terminal terrorist act aboard [[Cloud 9|''Cloud 9'']] {{TRS|Sacrifice}}.
