Publick Occurrences

Publick Occurrences is a newspaper in the Commonwealth run by Piper

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

Gameplay
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 barred 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
