Network Radio (or NetWorkRadio) is a NationStates news organization, whose purpose is to report information on significant events in NationStates. It originally had an alternative name as Radio World FM 303, however most know it as simply NetWorkRadio.
It found extreme popularity in the summer and fall of 2003, but because of controversial reporting and inactivity on the rest of its staff that declined sharply that winter. During this time viewership switched to upstart rival SeattleNews. Although there was a brief revival in the late winter/early spring of 2004, the project eventually stopped reporting but remained open as a public museum.
In the fall of 2004 one of its former reporters, Twinkles, launched a new news service, taking the NetWorkRadio name with her. Whether or not this was with the permission of the original owner remains unknown.
Typical events reported in Network Radio include invasions, defenses, counter-invasions/liberations, changes in organizations (ie: new leaders of invader/defender orgs.), interviews with various players, and major game events (such as major glitches).
Common wisdom holds that Network Radio was the first of this type of organization; this is actually incorrect. NWR was preceded by the Associated Press region.
