About Mad News

Mad News is a German developed simulation where the player manages a tabloid newspaper. The core objective involves boosting circulation and personal finances, which are advanced through the publication of sensational stories.

Revenue is also generated by selling advertising space within the publication. The player's role is that of editor in chief, operating in a market with two competing newspapers. This title serves as an unofficial follow up to a previous game called Mad TV.
