Head in the News

We suggest the following roles when playing the game:

There are two news outlets, the Transalpine Time and U-News, the first is a reputable newspaper focusing on the quality of their publications, while U-News is an upbeat infotainement channel which can publish more popular content in order to earn more.

Gogol, the search engine, should mostly be preoccupied with answering the questions with relevant headlines (the one that are relevant to the topic of the week), i.e. having them on top.
