Carian news outlets are strictly controlled by the country's authorities. Officially sanctioned publications geared toward a foreign audience include:
  • The Carian Broadcasting Service (KYR), a government agency of the Interior Ministry which acts as Caria's public broadcaster, operating an international radio, TV, and internet news and media service; and
  • O Logographos, Caria's primary newspaper of record, which publishes an Engellsh edition in print and online since the 1990s.
KYR typically publishes concise reports on specific, important issues and news pieces. O Logographos generally includes a variety of articles combining moderate length and depth on various issues and stories. The conservative opposition runs the news outlet Pyrsos (Carian for "torch), which publishes both in print and online, while also operating a radio service.

Media in Caria are regulated by the Interior Ministry's Secretariat General for Public Information (G.G.D.P.). Foreign media are also subject to oversight by the Ministry of State Security (Y.K.A.).

SAMARAS LOSES CONFIDENCE OF BOULE, FORCED TO RESIGN

NAUPLIA. The Government of Prime Mr. Andreas Samaras has collapsed after barely three years in office, following a vote of no confidence by the Boule this morning. Mr. Samaras had been forced to resort to the legislature for a vote of confidence after the Independent Public Revenue Administration and prosecutorial authorities revealed that the government had misrepresented the country's finances, something which they uncovered as part of an investigation into the government's default on privately held domestic bonds. Despite pleas for stability and a mandate to enact reforms, the embattled Mr. Samaras found little sympathy among opposing wings of his own Carian United Socialist Workers' Party (KESEK), the social democratic party that has ruled Caria practically without interruption since the Proclamation of the Republic in 1985. The attack was partly ideological, since more "purist" social democratic legislators have long held a grudge against the more centrist, third-way premier; but it was also electoralist in nature.

Many in Caria have come to see Mr. Samaras' administration as emblematic of KESEK's rule: corruption and financial mismanagement were ignored, so long as the government was ultimately able to deliver a good and rising standard of living to the citizenry at large. This was particularly exacerbated since the tenure of former PM and current President of the Republic, Mr. Leon Grammatikopoulos, who often used his political patronage network to circumvent ideological opposition within KESEK in order to enact his reforms. Mr. Grammatikopoulos and his successors were also notorious for packing the bureaucracy, state-owned corporations and civil service with his own loyalists securing institutional support and electoral loyalty, often at the expense of the public purse. Thus, Mr. Samaras' fall from power can be seen as an indictment of the political establishment of the centre-left Republic at large—though it is unclear whether the scapegoating of the Prime Minister will be enough to appease broader public outrage.


NEO-PHALANGISTS LEADING IN POLLS AFTER REHABILITATING PUBLIC IMAGE

ANAKTORA. Avgoustinos Kosmides, the new leader of the National Phalangist Movement (KEF), addressed large crowds of supporterss at Anaktora, a city located in the centre of mainland Caria and the traditional "midpoint" of public opinion and national sentiment in a traditionally regionally diverse country. Having been kept out of power for over two decades, with a short stint in 2009-11 by the centre-right Christian Social Coalition of Caria, the Carian right has been sidelined since the inception of the current Republic. For a long time, the right has fought it hard to distance itself from the authoritarian past of its multi-decade long 'parliamentary autocracy,' which only ended with the collapse of Carian rule over northern Himyar and the fall of the monarchy. Ironically, the National Phalangists, the branch of the traditional right-wing White faction, that led this collapse have led a resurgence in recent years. Their motto and strategy? "Phalangism with a human face."

Mr. Kosmides and his predecessor, Mr. Ioannes Kalamaras, both sought to leave behind royalist and far-right baggage that has been irredeemably tainted in the Carian public mind. They also sought to make it clear that the KEF will not seek to undo any of the socially progressive reforms undertaken by KESEK's multi-decade long hegemony. "This is not Pelasgia," Mr. Kosmides, explained. "The past is the past; we only aim to look toward the future!" As part of his messaging, Mr. Kosmides hopes to focus on reforming the country's economy on more modern, neoliberal lines, to account for the decline of traditional manufacturing and to make Caria regionally competitive once more. He points to his own roots—as the descendant of a rural family that moved to Nauplia and rose to the middle class through hard work—as a model to improve the lives of all Carians, while also assuaging concerns about the return to power of the traditional White aristocratic faction.

"Caria belongs to the Carians!" a giant banner behind the KEF leader says, appropriating what was once a populist KESEK slogan. Depicting prosperous middle and working class Carians, the banner also plays on another concern that has occupied Carian public opinion: immigration. With huge inflows of refugees from ex-Pannonia and other Germanian states in recent years, the citizens of Caria have faulted KESEK's border security measures as inefficient and often purposefully ineffectual. Regardless of whether this is true, the KEF has made border security and exclusionary citizenship and welfare laws a keystone of its policy—earning it much public appeal. "We are not here to undo the Republic or to turn the clock back to 1984," Mr. Kosmides told a Logographos reporter after his speech. "But we are here to ensure that the Republic's sovereignty remains with the Carian People."


NAT'L POLITARCHY DENIES REPORTS OF ABUSE AT NORTHERN BORDER

NIKAIA. The Inspector General of the National Politarchy Service, Caria's national gendarmerie, has denied reports of abuse at the northern border, after a group of immigration-focused NGOs accused the Carian authorities of using violence to illegally push asylum seekers across the border. Of particular note is Akritai, a town in northern Caria of some three thousand residents, whose location at the very northernmost tip of the triple Carian-Serbovian-Rheinish border has made it an epicentre of illegal border crossings. Due to the relatively accessible (by the standards of the overall mountainous region) geography of the locale, the Politarchy has deployed significant forces and erected barriers to keep border-crossers out, in addition to closing an official crossing with nearby Serbovia that was in close proximity to the town.

Nonetheless, tens of thousands of migrants have crowded the area around Akritai, hoping to cross into Caria and to continue either south, toward the Republic's more prosperous coastal regions, or further out, to the @Rheinbund and even Pelasgia. Carian security forces have used teargas and battons to keep them away, while NGOs recently alleged the use of plastic bullets—something which is denied by the Politarchy itself. The Inspector General's inquiry found no reason to support such a conclusion. Still, as more and more refugees from the former Pannonia and other destabilized Germanian states approach, and as more frontier areas become unofficial crossing zones, security forces are bound to resort to more desperate measures.
