Hello, I'm searching if there are examples of newspaper, broadsheet, tabloïd, pamphlet in the official books.

If, yes, which ?

Thanks for your future help.

Does the Guides put out by the Pathfinder Society itself count?


I search rather a existing template for the appearance of a newspaper.

Well, there's Battlecry, but the correspondence isn't formatted like a newspaper.


Canonically I think the only newspapers are in Absalom because the books normally don't go into that kind of detail anywhere else. Although an AP may mention something as a one-off if it's plot relevant.

I have one in my world called "Divination Daily", which is a tabloid that gets most of its news via eavesdropping (mudane and magical), so it's of rather dubious accuracy. They tend to hear part of something and run with it.

It's a fun way to get info to the players as an unreliable narrator (vs their more standard methods of gathering information), and also to reflect back what the players are doing in silly ways. One time one of them said something about cats in the Maaganbaya kitchen and that prompted "The Great Kitchen Cat Scandal".


I am pretty sure there are newspapers and tabloids in Alkenstar.

They're called whispersheets - they started as the temples of Abadar and Brigh distributing a forecast for the local wild magic surges, and then they started including current events, technological developments, and science. Presumably there's also a bunch of unofficial publications by various other sources, but the whispersheets are the thing you get on your doorstep every day and read over breakfast.
