NEWSPAPER - BIWEEKLY EDITION
[Did you subscribe to The Genessia Tribune? Did you even remotely wish you had a newspaper or some other form of media to refer to for news, weather, and current events? Then you're in luck! There's a paperboy riding through the streets of Genessia flinging newspapers onto doorsteps or, if you're unlucky, through your window. Even remote locations in the other cities will still get a paper if one of the residents ever wanted one. The Paperboy is just that dedicated.]
[And if you're one of the following people, and you happen to subscribe to the newspaper, the Paperboy may or may not have flung the newspaper through that person's window, at the person, and/or broke something in the area: Airy Miller, Karla, Micaiah, Amberdrake, Smoker, Theodore Satchel, Genos, Dave Strider, Android 18.]
Binford in the Bin
After years of serving the population in the absolute least capacity possible, the unthinkable has finally happened. Binford Garden Apartments has officially gone bankrupt. The apartment complex is scheduled to be demolished July 1st and is expected to be replaced with something the mayor calls "welcomer housing."
The term Welcomer Housing may not be familiar to many Genessian residents, but Genessian Mayor Bobbi Robertson says that it's a concept to keep newcomers arriving in the Bay off of the streets and with a place to stay while they haven't had a chance to find income yet. This new initiative is expected to be a welcomed change to help reduce the temporarily homeless population of Genessia and its neighboring cities. By buying out the land from Binford Garden, which had finally started losing more money than it was making even with minimal spending, the previous owner was able to break even and the land was able to be gained by Genessia City for this project.

Tragedy of the Heart
A recently self-published video by a serial killer revealed numerous citizens of all five cities being gruesomely tormented. Citizens are advised not to watch the video if they are weak of heart or have a soul that they don't want crushed or twisted. Seriously, it's really graphic and gross.
The Genessia Tribune would like to reach our hearts and prayers out to the victims and take a moment of silence to acknowledge the tragedy that took place. Victims included both Nova City's City Guardian Weiss Schnee and both of Genessia City's Deputy Guardians, Mikasa Ackerman and Karla. The complete list of victims is as follows, but the question remains: if our protectors can't protect themselves, how safe are we?
Victims
Ackerman, Mikasa
Adela, Ms.
Arc, Jaune
Bakura, Ryou
Belladonna, Blake
Coal, Flynt
Debeers, Blaine

The culprit, a man named Battler Ushiromiya who seems to claim to be Battler Ushiromiya's evil twin, remains at large. We were not able to get comments from any of the victims for this article, but we wish them all a speedy recovery.
High Banditry
The number of robberies by bandits have increased in the Fayren area. Shipments are being stolen at an increased rate as well as stores being robbed. It's not unusual for the frequency of robberies to fluctuate throughout the year. Though some speculate that there might be a reason behind this.
