The Lema Examiner is a Cadenzan daily newspaper which circulates mainly in the west of the country, based out of Lema.
Faced with declining readership in recent years, the Lema Examiner has moved its emphasis to web-based articles which focus more on the Trellinese Empire as a whole. This has helped revitalise the publication, and it is increasingly noted for its insightful economic and political analyses.
Establishment
The Lema Examiner was established in 1876 by Garaus ti'Manaportus, a second-generation immigrant from Exponent, who saw an opportunity to undermine the Cadenzan Daily's national dominance. Lema, then a small town, provided neither enough news nor enough readership to be financially viable, and the Examiner ran at a loss for several years in a row, propped up by regular injections from ti'Manaportus' personal bank account. In 1881, ti'Manaportus was before the Earl's Court for bankruptcy, but a serendipitous meeting with , the owner of Lemsien Racecourse, on the courthouse steps produced a deal that saved the newspaper.
