The Daily Buzz was a 23rd century digital news agency established at the Federation colony on the planet Vesbius.

History and specifics

During an emergency where 5,000 colonists needed to be evacuated from the frontier colony to survive an impeding asteroid strike, when there weren't enough ships to carry them all, Ambassador Hannah Faber faced the real threat of mob violence incited by rebel terrorists. When reporter Johnny Sanchez of the Daily Buzz asked her for a statement, she was aware that many colonists received their subscriptions on portable devices and realized it may be a way to speak to the citizens and quell the rebels. She told the Daily Buzz that terrorists who nearly killed her had been intending to kill Horta on a mission to digest the approaching asteroid and save the colony.

Monitoring the Daily Buzz feed from orbit, USS Enterprise communications officer Nyota Uhura alerted Captain James T. Kirk to her danger from the mob, and he immediately beamed down to render assistance. (TOS novel: Devil's Bargain)
