Headquarters: Xi'an
Nationality: The Arch Imperium of The Xheng Dynasty
Specialty: News Services
Storefront: None

The largest news program in the Arch-Imperium that runs 24 hours, 7 days a week always with updated reports on issues that concern citizens on everytopic imaginable. The XINDA network is a subsidiary of Imperial Telecom but bears the Xheng name as they have ownership over the Agency itself. XINDA has a strict protocol for objectivity and even though the Xheng dynasty has ownership they do not interfere with the news services itself. XINDA by far is the largest of the news agencies but is not alone, however it is the only one that is half publically owned.

XINDA itself is heavily subsidized by the government, especially the Royal Family as they own the majority of the agency itself. As a result there have been criticisms that XINDA itself is heavily pro-monarchist and biased in its news reports. In truth, XINDA cannot perform by instructions of its owners as within its founding charter. XINDA has a wide range of media outlets. It owns 4 major newspapers, 6 magazines and 6 seperate news channels. XINDA itself is almost in its own right a media congolmerate. However since Imperial Networks holds the main control over it, the government has firm control over both Imperial Networks as well as XINDA itself.
