SOLVED. Comedic sci-fi about space-faring news team in the future. [s]

[Mike]

Possibly someone on here can help me. I'm trying to remember the author or series title of a comedic sci-fi series that I owned in the early 1990s (maybe around 1992/1993?).

There were at least 2 books in the series, maybe more, they were near future (probably no more than about 1500 years ahead of today and probably less) and they revolved around the adventures of a team of reporters.

I remember that one of the books in the series began with a chap who was both a decorated soldier and a respected artist using some sort of bomb to sculpt a huge statue.

In every book they'd get sent to report on a particular story but there'd always be some event that dragged them into a much bigger story. I think there might have been a woman who was the 'face' of the newsteam and a camera/tech geek. They worked for a network that might have been called something like 'Satellite News Network' or 'Galactic News Network' but I just can't remember for certain.

If anybody can enlighten me as to what these books were/are, I'd be very grateful - I've been looking for ages (I've been through the majority of the resources suggested elsewhere on here) and haven't been able to identify them yet.

Thanks,
Mike

That's it, that's the series! Thank you so much Kris and after searching (what seems like at least) thousands of combinations of 'Satellite News', I can't believe I didn't come up with 'Satellite Night News'.

Thanks a lot :D

This is now SOLVED.

Great! Glad you found your book series, Mike. I find a search engine like www.worldcat.org is particularly helpful for tracking for older books.
