Republic City press



As part of being a large metropolis, Republic City is home to a large number of reporters and photographers who report the daily events via newspapers and radio broadcast. They are collectively voiced by Steve Blum, Jeff Bennett, Alex McKenna, and Dee Bradley Baker.

History
Once Avatar Korra officially relocated to Air Temple Island, she publicly announced her stay during a press conference outside City Hall. A large crowd had gathered, where many reporters asked the Avatar about her plans for the future and how she was going to deal with the city's crime rate. During the interview, many reporters took Korra's photograph.

Republic City's reporters and photographers were also present at the gala which Councilman Tarrlok threw in the Avatar's honor. There, they bombarded Korra with questions about Amon and the Equalists, and asked why she refused to be a part of Tarrlok's task force. When one of the journalists asked Korra if she was afraid of Amon, she lost her composure and announced that she would fight in the task force if that was what the people of Republic City desired. Tarrlok swiftly swooped in and ended the press conference by stating that the reporters now had their headline.

There was plenty of media attention after the task force executed its first successful raid and apprehended several Equalists. Tarrlok and Korra posed together with the bound chi blockers for a gathering of photographers, and many pictures ended up in the city's newspaper the next day. During a later press conference, a female journalist inquired why Korra had been unsuccessful in locating Amon. Eager to prove to herself and the city that she was not afraid of anyone, Korra promptly stepped up to the microphone and publicly challenged Amon to a midnight duel on Aang Memorial Island. After this statement, the journalists barraged Korra with questions, but she quickly left.
