Summary: Edmund wants to establish a Narnian newspaper, to further the cause of truth and check the spread of lies and embarrassing songs vicious slander. Nobody else seems to understand the depth of his conviction. (1,700 words)
Note: This fic was written for Cotton Candy Bingo Round One in incredibly belated response to the prompt: news. It's set in the year 1003, three years after the Pevensies arrive in Narnia. Edmund is therefore thirteen and Lucy is eleven. I will try my best to write them accordingly. (The operative word, alas, is 'try.')
[ETA: The AO3 crosspost is now up!]
( In Song and Story )
The brief mention of King Feyraud of Sarovence at the start of this story is taken from an equally brief mention at the start of Commonly to the Wars, where Lucy reflects on the wars her brothers have fought in by the time she's thirteen. I have added that incident to my Narnian timeline, along with some additional background references and implications from other stories.
