The Trusted Record is a daily non-profit newspaper published in the city of Overture, with readership extending up and down the southern shore of Randall Bay, covering a large portion of the Randall Bay Megalopolitan Complex. The newspaper prides itself on often holding alternative editorial positions that counter its crosstown mainstream news rival, the Overture Galaxy, despite the Trusted Record's position as a mostly mainstream publication itself compared to most non-profit publications. The Trusted Record is known as a reasonably accurate reporter of local events.
With a total circulation of 1,175,000 built from a local edition circulation of 525,000 and a regional edition circulation of 1,175,000, the Trusted Record caters to more of a regional audience compared to its crosstown daily rival. The newspaper boasts a total readership of 4,700,000 thanks to an array of periodical boutique columns, which appeal to both local and regional audiences. The Trusted Record's news coverage serves the Overture market while also reporting regional news relevant to readers from Adamopolis eastward past Melody to the tip of the peninsula, and from the Transilluminatian Range to Randall Bay's shore.
The newspaper's name reflects an editorial policy developed under the imposing local shadow of the The Galaxy as well as the regional silhouette of the much larger Adamopolis Times of Adamopolis, both of which heavily serve the region and enjoy superior editorial resources. While The Galaxy and The Times are known as newspapers of record, the Trusted Record became known as the source able to get the news out more swiftly thanks to its deeper local connections. Sometimes, though, this efficiency was at the expense of the reliability of the information. As a result, the newspaper formally adopted the name "Trusted Record" in order to relay its trustworthiness. The name became a point of pride for the newspaper and its readers.
The Trusted Record earns 2,735,700μ/AU in revenue from subscriptions, membership, and contributions. The newspaper has a newsstand price of 31mμ.
