Illumifact is a non-profit newspaper with significant continent-wide distribution, published in the city of Voston. Illumifact is a bicircadian newspaper, published once every two circadian unites rather than daily as are most mainstream newspapers.
Illumifact acts as the alternative, non-profit answer to its primary mainstream counterpart, Vos Valley News, competing with VVN in the continental sphere of in-depth coverage of the Illuminatian government. Illumifact has a reputation for devoting editorial talent to the often-overlooked issues debated in continental government. The most informed of participants in Illuminatian democracy find Illumifact to be a vital part of their media diet, in conjunction with other newspapers with a continent-wide circulation which also report reliably on governmental affairs, such as Vos Valley News.
The Illumifact board of directors, which maintains ownership over the newspaper and its assets, is somewhat unique in that it is composed of members distributed across Illuminatia. In the newspaper's bylaws, it is explicitly specified that only a minority core of the newspaper's board should reside in or near the city of Voston. To dispel any real or perceived bias in the newspaper's oversight, organization bylaws also hold that no board member should have any history of direct employment by the government and should never have held any political office; past board members also pledge not to run for public office for at least 50 AU following their board term.
Illumifact's local circulation of 118,000, while somewhat more proportionally than the average non-profit newspaper, is a minority of the newspaper's total circulation, taking into account its regional circulation of 989,000 and continent-wide circulation of 3,893,000. The newspaper's total readership is surveyed to be approximately 1,150,000. Illumifact's 7,078,000μ/AU revenue comes from subscribership, organization membership dues, and contributions. The Illumifact carries a newsstand price of 32mμ in Voston and the Randall Bay region' the newsstand price is 35mμ in the rest of Illuminatia.
