Publications in Rapture



Rapture produced many different publications in its heyday. The underwater city promoted competition and a Laissez-faire economics environment, so journalism, publishing, and other facets of the print industry were divided among many different privately owned businesses.

History
Rapture's publications kept the many people of the city entertained and in the know. While on the surface, a publisher might reject an individual's work for being to forward -thinking or risqué, but in Rapture, the only concern was whether a profit could be made. From the Bookstore in the Housewares department of Fontaine's to Harold Parson's meager shop in Pauper's Drop or various news kiosks in between, the citizens of Rapture had a wide variety of places where they could get their periodicals.

Like many businesses in Rapture, the print industry was dramatically effected by the 1958 New Year's Eve Riots, the Rapture Civil War, and the eventual collapse of civilized society. Under Security Order 217 all publications in Rapture were permanently suspended.
