Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A NewsNet was an information news network carried by hyperspace courier shuttle or droid, rather than over the HoloNet. Following the requisition of the HoloNet for official use of the Galactic Empire, the old HoloNet news networks began using this method of transmission, which, while resulting in substantial lag between transmission and reception, allowed news to once again reach most parts of the galaxy. The loose conglomeration of sanctioned and pirate networks were collectively known as the "NewsNets."
