The (now retired) ''Reporter'' contained a lot of important information. Major group news was published in the letter, along with any major group events. The ''Reporter'' also listed all promotions that have occurred in the past month, to honor those officers who had performed well. Each month there was also a section that contains plot summaries from each vessel, so every member knew what has been happening on each active ship in the fleet. Our monthly interview spotlighted a randomly chosen character and discussed their career. Finally, the ''Reporter'' sometimes also contained any articles, stories, questions or other materials that were submitted by members.
'''''The Reporter''''' is a retired newsmagazine that reported on major news and events for the [[UFOP: StarBase 118]] community. First published in 1996, ''The Reporter'' also listed all promotions that occurred in the past month. Each month there was a section that contained plot summaries from each vessel so that every member knew what has been happening on each active ship in the fleet. A monthly interview spotlighted a randomly chosen character and discussed their career. Finally, ''The Reporter'' sometimes also contained articles, stories, questions or other materials that were submitted by members.
 
''The Reporter'' was retired due to the cumbersome amount of work that it required to get it online. It was often difficult to find materials to fill the issues, and a number of people were usually needed to bring it together. In lieu of ''The Reporter'', the sleeker and slightly more spartan ''Tactical Data Report'' brought the most important information to the fleet. With the advent of a new website for the fleet, a news section on the site supplanted ''The Reporter's'' feature articles, by allowing new articles to be posted whenever they were written--instead of only when ''The Reporter'' was issued.
 
After a hiatus that began in 2003, two final issues were published in 2010 and 2011. Today, our [[Newsies Team]] and [[Newsletter Team]] update our community on a regular basis through the news articles published on our website at [https://www.starbase118.net/news/ www.starbase118.net/news/] and included in our weekly newsletter.
 
Nonetheless, you will find a great deal of information on the history of UFOP in this archive.

Title banner for the Reporter

The Reporter is a retired newsmagazine that reported on major news and events for the UFOP: StarBase 118 community. First published in 1996, The Reporter also listed all promotions that occurred in the past month. Each month there was a section that contained plot summaries from each vessel so that every member knew what has been happening on each active ship in the fleet. A monthly interview spotlighted a randomly chosen character and discussed their career. Finally, The Reporter sometimes also contained articles, stories, questions or other materials that were submitted by members.

The Reporter was retired due to the cumbersome amount of work that it required to get it online. It was often difficult to find materials to fill the issues, and a number of people were usually needed to bring it together. In lieu of The Reporter, the sleeker and slightly more spartan Tactical Data Report brought the most important information to the fleet. With the advent of a new website for the fleet, a news section on the site supplanted The Reporter's feature articles, by allowing new articles to be posted whenever they were written--instead of only when The Reporter was issued.

After a hiatus that began in 2003, two final issues were published in 2010 and 2011. Today, our Newsies Team and Newsletter Team update our community on a regular basis through the news articles published on our website at www.starbase118.net/news/ and included in our weekly newsletter.

Nonetheless, you will find a great deal of information on the history of UFOP in this archive.

Archive

This section contains an online version of every Reporter back-issue, all the way back to Issue 1, which was published in June 1996. These online issues are edited slightly to remove any sensitive information (e.g.- members e-mail addresses, etc.), and to update any old format stardates with the new UFOP stardate system which was introduced in January 2000.

To view an issue, click on its issue number. Any ranks mentioned in the table below, or within a Reporter issue are the ranks of the officer at the time of issue of that particular edition, and may have since changed.
