====Television==== | |||
Television broadcast in the Inquisition is completely state-owned, with the Central Inquisitorial Television Broadcaster (''cami murkadhānāvīyi chlærvāyami galamęlicamūh'', commonly ''camuchlæga'') being the only nationwide broadcaster. Diocese-owned regional broadcasters are found in most areas, with more local programmes. | |||
The eleven national channels (called ''maita(i)'', "river(s)" in Chlouvānem), plus the international one, are<ref>Where the name is not translated, it is just "first", "second", etc.</ref>: | |||
* ''lahīla maita'' - a generalist channel, with a range of various different programmes. | |||
* ''hælinaika maita'' - a religious channel, airing programmes related to Yunyalīlti history, theology, and philosophy. | |||
* ''pāmvende maita'' - mainly showing movies. | |||
* ''nęltende maita'' - a sports-focussed channel, particularly for "traditional" sports (archery, fighting) and cycling. | |||
* ''lališire nęltende maita'' (New Fourth Channel) - a further channel focussed on sports; "Western" sports and motorsports are typically aired here. | |||
* ''šulkende maita'' or ''samimmaita'' (Children('s) Channel) - a channel with programmes aimed at children. | |||
* ''tulūɂende maita'' - a channel airing mostly programmes about the Armed Forces, agricultural news, and some historical documentaries. | |||

* Finally, the ''galababhrausire maita'' (International Channel) airs mainly outside the Inquisition and presents programmes centered on Chlouvānem culture and that make propaganda for the Yunyalīlti religion, the Chlouvānem worldview, and more broadly forms of ''Yunyalīlti-influenced communism'' - an ideology found in fringes of communist parties in the West and widely represented in the former Kaiṣamā. It is aired in 14 languages: Chlouvānem, [[Brono-Fathanic|Bronic]], [[saKalurilut|Kalurilut]], [[Skyrdagor]], [[Cerian]], [[Holenagic]], [[Nordulaki|Nordûlaki]], [[Gathura]], [[Auralian]], [[Kalese]], [[Spocian]], Central Dabuke koiné, Nähäri, and Shurtūn. | |||
Programmes are sometimes shared between two channels - for example the famous literary debate ''dholtanah pa nīdældoe'' (lit. A Talk on Writing) is aired daily on the Seventh Channel but once every lunar phase is contemporaneously aired on the First Channel. | |||
====Printed media==== | |||
Printed media in the Inquisition is mostly a state-owned enterprise, with the only exception being a notable presence of [[w:samizdat|samizdat]] literature and comic books, de facto largely tolerated by the central authorities. | |||
The core of printed information in the Inquisition is provided by six major newspapers - four of them daily, the other two only issued on workdays -, each one published by a different organization of national importance: | |||
''brauslajyāvi'' (the Liturgical<ref>The Chlouvānem term ''brauslaijyā'' (liturgy) has a somewhat broader meaning than in English, referring also - as in this sense - to the point of view of the Inquisition.</ref>), official newspaper of the Inquisitorial political direction. | |||
''juṃšemāvi'' (the Episcopal), organ of the Episcopal Conference (''juṃšumi galьtirāh''), a coordinate assembly of all Bishops. | |||
''pūnīn'' (the Worker), organ of the Coordinatory Committee of Inquisitorial Trade Unions (''murkadhānāvye tañcamūmi galьtirah'', commonly ''mutagali''), only issued on workdays. | |||
''yaivcārṇædǣnah'' (the Communist), organ of the Official Representative in the Inquisition of the International Communist Union (''murkadhānāvye yaivcārṇædanīyi galababhrausire samvītam''), only issued on workdays. | |||
''mugišci tatnā'' (Voice of the Mugišca), official newspaper of the Inquisitorial Youth Union (''murkadhānāvīyi giṣṭarumi camūh'', commonly ''mugišca''), and as such with a language level, and contents more aimed at adolescents and young adults. It is also widely used as an educational supplement in most schools across the country. | |||
''rašvājas'' (portmanteau of ''rašvātri būmājas'' "Sports' Sheet"), the main sports newspaper of the country, published by the Inquisitorial Office for Sports (''rašvātri flušamila''). | |||
The magazine sector is composed of publications of various genres that are published either twice per lunar phase (= weekly), once per lunar phase (= usually twice a month), or once a month; some scientific magazines are issued at longer intervals.<br/> | |||
Noteworthy publications include ''tamišūrah'' (the Observatory), a world-famous news magazine published twice per lunar phase; literary magazines such as ''naihī ñaiṭa'' (Literary Star), ''liloejāṃryų naihā'' (Global Literature), or ''jīmai pāṇyai no'' (Characters and Pages); or the famous musical magazine ''sumai'' (Notes). | |||
====Internet==== | ====Internet==== | ||
Internet service in the Inquisition is vast and covers the whole nation: about 92% of the population uses internet services. The form of Internet used in the Inquisition, however, is not the general international internet (the ''denómon éréso'') used by most Calemerian countries - the Inquisitorial internet, called ''mulipenai'', is a heavily controlled network maintained by the countries of the ''Kayāgaprika'' (''kailī āṇḍhulā nali galababhrausire prikaulā'', International Pact for the Defense of Purity, or the official name of the Eastern Bloc), namely the former Kaiṣamā (except for Taruebus), a bunch of Eastern Védrenian countries, plus Greater Skyrdagor, Nēčathiwēye, and Čīwēynac. | Internet service in the Inquisition is vast and covers the whole nation: about 92% of the population uses internet services.
