I've just recently started a ShadowrunPBP game here and I want to include some background news snippets in the game. So I was wondering if you fine people would be able to help me out by posting short news bulletin type stuff that I can use to pad out my terrible posting.
Here is something that I googled earlier to give you an example of the kind of thing I want.

(Seattle Metroplex) Knight Errant announced today several raids on organized crime fronts in the Everett District took place over the Veteran’s Day weekend. Unnamed sources say the raids were against several known Triad fronts and were triggered by the anonymous delivery of evidence in the form of financial records belonging to the Eighty-Eights criminal organization.
It'll save me some time and you'll be helping a brother out! Well not your brother, but somebodies brother. The current game is set in 2076, I said 2077 in the initial pitch for the game but I forgot that and instead posted 2076 so there you go.
What sorts of news? Like announcing a new model of the Bison truck with improved handling? Or riots in orc town over food shortages?

Anything and everything to be honest. Your two examples there are perfect. The game is set in Seattle so the majority of the news will be Seattle focused but there are a bunch of news networks so anything can pop up if people go looking for it or even just as background fluff while the game is running.
