The Caprican was a daily periodical of Caprican origin in existence at least 58 years before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. It ran news, entertainment, cultural, financial, and sports articles, as well as editorial columns and a section entitled "Playing the Field" (a reference to Pyramid), where readers could write in to the paper for advice on love, dating, and marriage.
Out of Universe[edit]
The Caprican is available as an online companion to the events of Caprica, releasing stories that pertain to the plot both before and after episodes air, as well as giving background on culture seen in the series. It is available for viewing on the web, as well as an App for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, although no new articles have been published since late April for unknown reasons.
The blog's article titles, fictional dates of YR42 and real-world dates of publication at Caprica's Notes in 2010 are listed below. The fictional dates were calculated apparently by adding a periodically changing number of days to the dates of publication. For example, the articles of March 2 and later use dates of YR42 which are three days later than the corresponding publication dates, so March 2 became Martius 5 and April 30 became Maius 3.
