Altanar International News Service

The Altanar International Media Service (AIMS) is a cooperative effort of Altanar's public and private sector to bring Altanar's media a wider international audience. The organization provides television and print programming to other nations that are willing to allow those services in their nation. AIMS also works to bring similar services from other nations to Altanar, in a form of cooperative exchange.

Goals of AIMS:

- increase the international community's knowledge of Altanar and its people

- bring information, news and entertainment programming from Altanar to the international community, and from the international community to Altanar, in an effort to foster international understanding, education and trade

The following services are offered to interested nations:

AIMS Television: This is a 24-hour television channel. Each nation has a program specifically tailored to its audience by AIMS broadcast personnel, and offered in local languages and dialects as well as Altanari. An hourly news segment is shown at 6 am, noon, 6 pm, and midnight local time, and sports, entertainment, current events and political broadcasting are offered in the other time slots. Nations may request specific shows during the non-news hours, in addition to or replacing the standard AIMS programming.

AIMS International Herald: The AIMS International Herald is a daily newspaper published in interested nations. Similar to AIMS television, it offers news, sports, entertainment, current events and political coverage in both Altanari and the local languages/dialects. Nations may request specific coverage as well.

Distribution: If your national government (or its media outlets) wish, AIMS can help distribute their products in Altanar, to widen your audience.

Advertising: To help subsidize its services, AIMS accepts advertising from private companies and national governments on its broadcasts, and in the AIMS International Herald.
