Open Source Communique

OSC is a non-profit global blockchain of independent reporters  who provide meager but highly reliable information on developing news stories affecting FirstWorld interests. Their constantly-updated newsblip stream tends to focus on issues of politics and business, power and progress, commercial or otherwise. The blockchain itself is an opensource project maintained by volunteer programmers (and their custom AIs). OSC has a close relationship with a number of first-tier corporations, who finance much of its operation via tax-deductible donations from their established Funds. Some question whether these indirect connections have any effect on the content of OSC's reporting. They're probably right to do so.
