Are the player made GalNet news canon?

Apparently yes or they would not have been posted on Galnet. Players can submit articles which are reviewed and if approved posted; has to be canon if it goes on Galnet as the game's story now is told through Galnet.

Treat Galnet news like you would (or, I guess, should) treat real-life news. It's not "canon" in the sense that events actually absolutely happened that way. It's "canon" in the sense that it's actually someone's perspective on events.

Understanding that even the most objective reporting is, always and unavoidably, filtered through the perceptions and biases of the reporter is key; both in properly digesting the story of any good fiction, and in understanding the real world.

So when, for example, Galnet posts an article about how some accuses so-and-so of being complicit in the death of the Emperor, that doesn't mean it's canon that that person is complicit, it only means that it's canon that someone made the accusation that that person is complicit.

I view Galnet as simple text-only versions of this type of delightful journalism.

So... Archon delaine realy said ''sweeeeeeeeeeeet''? ugh...
I love the fact we are able to shape the universe but how did that get pass?

*Edit : also its very immersion braking to have the CMDRs name under the article , like why would a space pilot be a journalist?
