"Hello everybody, thank you for tuning in to the Metkrah Armory Archive. My name is Ir'ram Tor Gelum, and we are here today with a rare piece of history."
"This is an original Aempian-contract Khirmagne Blitz rifle from the Valuser'ran Supremacy."
"And as you might be able to tell—
Ir'ram struggles with the bulk of the rifle before setting it upon the table. The weight shook the metal surface, even when laid with such care."This thing is quite heavy. So you may wonder why a bunch of Aen like me would want a rifle half the size of them."
Well, to find out why, we have to put ourselves in the boots of the ragtag group of countries who banded together to fight Valuser'ran Theocratic Republic.
The Media Specialist is a role within the Jhoutigari that focuses on education, entertainment, and outreach. Their services span Pact space, and they can be found embedded in most departments from Enforcement and Infrastructure to Education and Public Works.
Joining the Jhoutigari as a Media Specialist is rare, as the career path requires service in the department you are representing.
For Example: The Media Specialist for the Metaphysical Enforcement Department needs to understand the structure and purpose of the MED before being a public-facing figure for it.
Purpose of the Media Specialist
Educate
Media Specialists came to be out of the desire for transparency within the Jhoutigari. Their role is to provide information and updates not only on active events but on the day-to-day operations and initiatives that departments are placing their resources in.
Thanks in part to the effort of Media Specialists, the general populace of the Pact has a favorable opinion of their state workforce.
Engage
A primary directive of the Media Specialist is to engage the populace both in and out of the Jhoutigari Service. This involves finding hosts who can entertain an audience. Some departments do this better than others.
Many incoming Jhoutigari recruits know where they want to go in their service thanks to the education provided by Media Specialists that they watched.

I like that you've taken a field that is generally not taken seriously and turned it into a central cultural role. I think it would be a difficult job to always be honest but also shine a positive light on the departments that are being showcased. I also really enjoyed the layout.
