the media of Kasterburg provides information and entertainment through the thinly-veiled filter of the National Society for Propaganda, the media devision of the Kasterburger government. Under its umbrella fall a diverse range of platforms, such as newspapers, radio, television and film.
Newspapers
Radio and Television
Cinema
Kasterburg is home to a surprisingly artistic and innovative cinematic scene. Following the renewed interest in movies on Micras during the late 1650s, Kasterburger movies became one of the country's most prized export products. Biggest production company is Lost Mind Productions, which is well known for its low-budget horror films, which are by far the most popular movies in the Republic. Some of the most internationally well-received actors and directors come from Kasterburg.
Although popular, Kasterburger movies are often the subject of controversy due to its portrayal of ethnic stereotypes, violence and thinly veiled propaganda. Some movies have not received positive international reviews, due to its content. An example is the film The Battle for Litkov, a dramatized version of the settlement of Porolia, in which native inhabitants are depicted as backwards and cruel.
