Media

Directing media attention away from one’s activities is a key component of survival for some supernatural creatures. Putting specific emphasis on certain events can put an enemy in an uncomfortable spotlight or discredit a rival. With Media, you can crush or alter news stories, control the operations of news stations and reporters and sway public opinion, with DJs, editors of all varieties, reporters, cameramen, photographers and broadcasters at your disposal. At the Storyteller’s discretion, Media Influence may also allow access to the more technical areas of television, radio or movies.
In this day and age, Media is irrevocably linked with political ideology. West Berliners are afforded the luxury of relatively free speech; they use this right to broadcast all manner of commercialism and X-rated debauchery. Propaganda is a dirty word these days and the Westerners prefer to use more subtle ways of influencing hearts and minds. In West Berlin is the oldest self-contained broadcasting house in the world, Haus des Rundfunks. The citizens enjoy various broadcasting programs like Sender Freies Berlin (Radio Free Berlin), RIAS (Radio in the American Sector), and national programs from the Federal Republic of Germany. Colour TV is just seeing widespread adoption. The channels are limited to Das Erste (The First), ZDF (Second German Television), and Nord 3 (A third network that SFB shares with other broadcasters).
