Thirlcrest Times

Thirlcrest Times is an official clique in Thirlcrest Academy: Scholarship Edition. 
== About ==
The Thirlcrest Times are a school-funded newspaper club. While on the surface it appears to be an honest, productive group of up-and-coming journalists and creative minds, more insightful students will recognize it as a propaganda machine used to slander and destroy the reputations of the student body. The Times has a unique way of dealing with enemies, preferring to destroy their reputation through rumors and articles than giving them a traditional beatdown. Additionally, the Times are able to make money through their work, by charging for both positive and negative articles on any given individual, excluding their own journalists. As both a clique and a school-funded club, the Times continues it's goal of propagating it's narratives to the masses by any means necessary.

== Lore ==
In the late 1980s, Thirlcrest students founded the Thirlcrest Times, a school newspaper, after gaining approval from the Headmaster. Initially housed in a small office in the administration building, it grew in popularity. However, funding problems led to its abandonment. In 2007, Carmen Ellison, Travis Shen, and Erina Delaney revived the newspaper by secretly raising funds and convincing the Deputy Headmaster to support the project. Taking up a new office in the main facility of the school, the trio got to work. They transitioned the newspaper into a digital format and introduced a private blog, where they shared gossip and rumors about fellow students, damaging their reputations. While this was going on, a separate school-sponsored public newspaper was created with the goal of upholding a positive image for parents and faculty.
