Media in TW2000

Reuters and AP News....... News collaboration efforts by big syndicates employing free lancers and a few paid correspondents. Most news from far away comes over surviving telephone cables. So faxes and teletypes are back in fashion. Cable is remarkably robust and well distributed. Cable (phone cable) would survive the nuclear exchange by routing around points of failure. Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Pacific cable would exist for the same reasons. Surviving cable would be protected by a mutual agreement not to break or destroy any cable not strictly military or government to keep trade, weather, and seismic or natural disaster warnings free flowing. Even hostile governments have trade through third parties . The U.S. bought NAZI Germany ball bearing for piston engines through Brazil and Argentina until the ball bearing factories were bombed.
