Solarni Novini (Tengarian: Соларни Новини, Solarian: Solariani Nuntii, lit. "Solarian News") is a Tengarian national daily newspaper, based in Lenovo. It is published in the broadsheet format and has had an online edition since 2010, and is notable for being published in three languages, Tengarian, Armonian Savader and Calian. Since 1959, it has been publicly owned under the government managed media group Tengaria Communications.
The oldest still printed newspaper in Tengaria, it was initally founded by Emperor Simeon I in 1715 as a print version of the handwritten announcements made to government ministers concerning important political and international developments. At first an irregular publication, it eventually grew to become one of the largest newspapers in the Empire of Tengaria, and was known for its right-wing and monarchist political views. Its main competitor and ideological rival was the more liberal and republican Lenovo Novini. During the Tengarian Republic, it supported the All-Solarian Union, and after the Tengarian Civil War became publicly owned and the primary newspaper in the country following the supression of most others. Ever since, it has functioned as the foremost newspaper in the country, and has the highest readership and circulation out of any paper in Tengaria.
Due to its national prominence and significance, it is considered by some to be Tengaria's newspaper of record, although its reputation is tained by association with the Kovachev regime and the Patritoic Union and right-wing political views. It has been criticised for promoting pro-government propaganda, and is also accused of having extensive media bias, including religious, coverage and gatekeeping bias. The newspaper ranks infavorably with several international watchdog groups.
