The Lion Gazette (Fictional Publication)
The Lion Gazette is a struggling, albeit well respected, newspaper publication in Kingsville, Texas. By 2009 it had been losing readership due to the prevalence of "internet news." While The LION GAZETTE is working toward on-line publishing is leader, Robert Seagull, is pulling out every stop to try to increase circulation and profitability. This involves having a streamlined staff and coming up with new gimmicks to generate revenue and interest in the paper.

In 2009, The LION GAZETTE's news section had dwindled to just Peggy O'Shea and we dependent on WIRE SERICES and stories it "bought" from free lancers. Bret Coogan's finance section was popular and even syndicated to other papers and Lil Alexandra's feature stories were also drawing attention and revenue. That said, there was little money to fire new reporters.

Dr. Lola Alotta, who's advice column was now read across the country, offered some of her revenue to take on Mari Solinski and Zandra Niko in the mailroom after she felt she got them fired as carhops. This deal was struck between Robert Seagull and Albert Larkin, who was overwhelmed in the mailroom.

Charlie Murphy operates a tight ship preventing unwanted peoples from gaining access to the premises. While somewhat gruff to outsiders, he is a trusted and good friend to employees and their family. Russel "Sweeps" Perez seldom says anything unless it is something of note.
