Note: This wasn't my role I'm simply transcribing it from other FMs, I'm doing it because it is not a regular SC2 Mafia role.
Role Name: Journalist / Corrupt Journalist
Alignment: Town / Evil Neutral
Game Size(s): All
Abilities: Each night you may choose to interview a player. Your target can write a piece of news which will be published anonymously to the whole Town the next day. You may also publish an article along side your interview - the Host will make it clear which article came from which source.
Intended Purpose: The Town Journalist can scum-hunt people through interviews, confirm his role to a certain degree, and allow Town PRs to share their information secretly. The Corrupt Journalist can win with the Mafia, and if included in a setup undermines the reliability of the Town Journalist whilst helping the Mafia by spreading misinformation.
Meta-Game Implications: If both roles are included as possible roles in a setup, then the Town will need to decide whether or not the Journalist is reliable (as will the Mafia).
Possible Cons: I don't see many actual cons to this role at this time, but I'm just transcribing it.
One Sentence Summary: A journalist which can publish anonymous articles and interviews.
