The Alpha Press Association, is a Lovian cooperative news agency. Alpha is a corporation owned by its contributing newspapers, radio and television of Lovia, which contribute material to Alpha. Also, some newspapers and broadcasters from abroad use Alpha material, paying a fee and thus without being contributive members of the cooperation.
Policy[]
Since Alpha is a cooperative owned agency, all direct contributors (members!) gain a percentage of the stocks. They also pay a relative small amount of money for their membership. In exchange, they can use media from any other member of the association. All newpapers, radio and television can join the press association. Also, a few magazines might be permitted. All material can be used freely within the association, however the copyrights legaly remain with the author. With the profit Alpha makes, media are bought from non-Lovian press agencies.
