	According to Rona LIVE! Season 2, Issue 2, the General Manager of PNN is Kenny "KC" Emerson.		Like most other news services, PNN also has its own online news website, providing breaking news and streaming media.

			The one service that PNN.net offers that other news websites do not, though, is an active archive of heroes in Paragon City. This is done with cooperation with the Paragon City Times and allows paid subscribers to search for and view news articles concerning various heroes going all the way back to the original [[Freedom Phalanx]]. While not entirely accurate, it does provide more information than through a normal Internet search.
