ABOUT THE OTHER NEWS
INTERNATIONAL WORLD SERVICE
Welcome to The Other News International World Service providing it’s unique brand of cutting edge news, events, scandal and true to fact propaganda from deep in the South Pacific.

The Other News is the only alternative for the many civillians who have had enough of the everyday force fed garbage dished by the mind controlling media hype shape-shifters responsible for breeding ignorance into the lives of families, work collegues, schools, churches and sports clubs.

The Other News is up to the minute current events brought to you from across the galaxy and all points in between, past, present and future. We explore and uncover cutting edge issues from outside the bounds of comfort, safety and entertainment. It’s news brought to you from above the controlling facade of global governments, the military, the crown, the reptillians, secret societies, religious leaders, world intelligence and the tall greys.

It’s more than news, it’s more than events, it’s more than the weather. The Other News, it’s a movement.

THE NEWS TEAM
TED WEXLER JNR.
SENIOR EDITOR
wexler
Ted’s professional career in news media dates back to the hey day of WJM Minneapolis where he worked alongside news legends such as Toby Morello, Stacey Clarke and Mary Tyler Moore. Like too many mainstream heavy weights, Ted became disillusioned with the over regulated, over formulated, over censored news press of modern day. Ted decided it was time to get his hands dirty and bring ‘the real truth’ back into media just like the good old days. And as Ted says, “Delivering cold hard facts free from the claws of cognitive dissonance and ignorance of established convention”.
CHARLIE
SENIOR ONLINE EDITOR
charlie
Not your average stereotypical Chinaman, Charlie is one no-nonsense hard hitting gentleman who means business. From a long history of international press media and dry cleaning expertise Charlie shoots from the hip with no holds barred. His English skills are about as good as his rickshaw driving or his brother’s lunch bar menu, but he’s a fast learner. Charlie is also the only person we know who can do calculus and html in his head, often at the same time which is probably why our website looks so crappy.

Disclaimer: On the rare occasion where any news story may appear misinformed or misquoted, chances are it’s one of Charlie’s friday 4.45 hack edit jobs. As they say in the industry; ‘Gotta a problem? see Charlie’.

HANS (SLIM) VON BERGEN
HEAD INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
hans
Hans began his controversial career as an investigative reporter when his career as a singer entertainer came to an abrupt end as local radio stations in New Mexico refused to play his music. Reportedly because of the subversive anti-establishment lyric content, and that no-one could understand his Scandinavian accent. As a teenager Hans remembers the stories told by his father of the strange goings-on at the top secret military installation known as Area 51. When his father lost his job at the installation the Von Bergen family home was raided by unknown Govt agents. All his father’s diary notes, tapes, pedal steel guitar and Hank Snow records went missing. His parents and family also mysteriously disappeared never to be seen again. Hans was later phoned by the CIA and advised it was best he left town and not to mention the incident to anyone. Ever.
HECTOR XIYONNSKI
INTER-GALACTIC MEDIA CORRESPONDENT
hector
The 7th son of refugee farming parents from Tremec-Minor Hector’s professional background extends eons. He is fluent in most dialects of Earthling including English, Cantonese, Croatian and Australian. Hector is a natural born mastermind, a wealthy property developer and an expert on helium3 mining, mineral ore smuggling and galactic warming. He often reminds us that his homeland superiors have the power to destroy the Earth if we fail to obey, or refuse to comply with their single malt anti-freeze treaty. Hector operates strictly under the radar as the Amnion Government and secret services there operate on similar grounds as they do on Earth.

In his spare time Hector freelances as the robotic voice that appears on many hardhouse and drum-and-bass soundtracks throughout the galaxy.

He lives on Amnion Station with his wife and 3 children.

AWARD WINNING FIELD REPORTER

Visit her office and you’ll see a shrine of press awards, certificates, and paper merchant wall planners that reflect Jolanda’s skills as second to none.

When it comes to getting the job done right Jolanda delivers without fail.

Yes in fact Jolanda is so popular here at The Other News, Hans wrote a song about her. It’s one of our favourites called, ‘Jolanda by the shade of the prickly pear tree.’

Once again Ms Vavoome is looking for a new camera man as her last 5 have been tragically killed on location (Must be athletic, English speaking and own transport preferred)

GLEN PRESTON
ADVERTISING MANAGER
preston
Glen has a motto, ‘If you can read this, you can’t afford it!’ Yes he’s an old hard nosed ad-man from way back before the days of 6 hour lunches and the overblown expense accounts of the late 1980’s. He’s a survivor with a killer deal armed at the ready. If Glen comes across as rude or obnoxious over the blower, just give him a mo’ until his medication kicks in, because beneath it all he’s a really swell guy, just provided you don’t give him bourbon anytime after 10am or tell any ‘Yo mama’ jokes.
MERYL HANNIGAN
SENIOR ACCOUNTS OFFICER
meryl
Don’t mess with Meryl and everyone will get along just fine. Trust us on this one.
AGENT HARRY-X
UNDERGROUND STORY INFORMANT
harryx
To be quite honest, we don’t know too much about our friend Harry. He’s a quiet keep to himself kinda guy, but he sure knows how to knock out a doozie story or 2. He’s got a style and edge all of his own, heard any good conspiracy stories lately? Chances are they came from Harry. Where most red blooded reporters fear to tread, Harry gets in deep, cutting down to the nitty gritty everytime. Although he is impossible to understand at times on the wireless with his stupid voice filter gadget, agent Harry-X has one of the best Mickey Spillane novel collections ever. He drives a ‘49 Plymouth with white wall tyres, and is one sharp devil behind a pool cue.
