Seredinskaya Pravda (Seredyan: Серединская Правда), often referred to simply as the Pravda, is a Seredinian broadsheet newspaper based in Zolodolina, the capital of the Seredinian Federation. Founded initially as the propaganda arm of the Seredinian Vozhd and House Petrov, it transitioned to first noble ownership, and then private corporate ownership after the Christmas Revolution and Seredinian Civil War. It is ranked Xth in the world by circulation, and 1st in Seredinia.
The paper has been owned by Nezavisimyye SMI, or Independent Media, since 1904. Previously, it had been owned by the various families of founders Prince Vasily Tsulukidze, Prince Matvey Losev, Vlastelin Yevgeniy Yusupov. The Tsulukidze family, hailing from the borderlands near Tsensurii, still holds a 15% stake in the paper, and thus has maintained members of the family in certain positions across the paper since its creation. Alexei Tsulukidze, the current publisher, is the sixth generation to be involved in the paper.
The Pravda has long been referred to as the Seredinian Federation's "newspaper of record", reporting authoritatively on happenings within Seredinia and abroad. It has at times been noted as the official paper of the Seredinian Government, a status which it held from its founding in 1818 until 1876, and then again from 1904 until 1953 when it was replaced by Federatsiya Sevodnya.
Since the reforms of the Verizov Documents in the 1950s, Seredinskaya Pravda has expanded its focus and circulation, bolstering its reporting and research from only political journalism to include work on the sciences, arts, and business by the 1980s. It now covers a broad range of topics, including sports, technology, and a widely-read international section. Its Sunday printing, called the Pravda Obzor or True Review, includes book reviews, long-form articles, and weekly sports summaries.
