Lucius Magnus Rex

The LKE Today was the first newspaper to be founded in the LKE. It is also the longest running one, with the most issues and the highest readership. Edited by Lucius Magnus Rex it has always been a serious Broadsheet, focussing on the regional events, and occasionally into Foreign events, but only when they have an impact on the LKE.


Political Stance

The Today claims to be impartial as well as the oldest newspaper. While it is true to say that it is politically impartial - it has been known to praise or criticise all parties - it is nonetheless pro establishment. The Today is strongly supportive of the Monarchy, Constitution and pomp and circumstance. It also tends to take a 'firm government' stance.

The LKE Today can be quite blunt


The LKE Today Through the Ages

Since its founding the LKE Today has since made over 120 issues, which is more than three times its nearest rival (The Imperial Herald). The first 44 issues were listed in Roman Numerals and the first 64 issues were the traditional text based newspapers. The Today was the first newspaper in the LKE to go 'White paper' i.e to use a proper newspaper format, this was October 16 2006. At the time though this news format had some serious flaws, many found it hard to read. It was not until the next issue that this problem had been solved. As time went on the format continued to be honed and changed, eventually becoming more and more neat. The title text changed several times. On September 3rd 2007 the Today finally evolved into its modern format, with new background paper and a new title text. It also took its crest and motto out of the front page.
