Publick Occurrences

Publick Occurrences is a newspaper in the Commonwealth run by Piper in 2287.

Background
The newspaper owes its name to the first newspaper ever published in Boston, in 1690.

Characteristics
Due to the content of the periodical, Publick Occurrences has garnered ill will with McDonough, the mayor of Diamond City, resulting in Piper being temporarily blocked from entering the city. This being because of the newspaper's "lies and scandalous assumptions." When the Sole Survivor arrives in Diamond City for the first time, the town is in an uproar after the recent controversial article released entitled The Synthetic Truth which details the true threat of synths in Diamond City, which proves to be real. Piper's sister, Nat, can often be found selling the paper outside of Piper's office.

Interactions with the player character
After meeting with the Sole Survivor, Piper suggests coming by her office at some point to provide her with an interview for a new article.

Articles

 * The Synthetic Truth - Available from the beginning of the game
 * View from the Vault - Becomes available if the Sole Survivor allowed Piper to interview them in the Story of the Century quest. Content changes according to answers given during the interview and the article are split into three parts:
 * Part 1
 * Part 2
 * Part 3
 * Fear the Future? - Becomes available if the Survivor ended the main quest by siding with the Institute and has a high affinity with Piper.
 * The Boogeyman banished? - Available if the Sole Survivor destroys the Institute in the endgame. There are different variations depending on who destroyed it.
 * Moving Forward - Becomes available once the Sole Survivor finds out that Mayor McDonough was a synth.

Behind the scenes
"Publick Occurrences" shares its name with the first multi-page newspaper published in the Americas, which was also printed in Boston. This newspaper only existed for a month before it was censored by the colonial government because it contained content deemed too controversial to print and distribute.
