Playing the Media in FFRP:

Medias are always looking for the next big scoop. If a player knows that you are a media, even if their character is unaware of your role, they will be more likely to tell you things and believe whatever you tell them. However, remember that credibility is earned, and if you lie too often you will lose that skill.
