The Santa Christina Herald is the oldest newspaper in Georgeland. It is highly regarded as an international news source and, notably, is the only metropolitan daily in Georgeland to remain 'independent'; that is, outside the control of major news corporations, such as Newscorp. The Herald has been the major broadsheet newspaper for Santa Christina and much of the western coast of Mainland for the past century. It has the largest circulation of any Georgeland newspaper - in 2005, the paper's average weekday circulation was 257,396.
