- "Would you tell me… if I was a reporter for the Environmental Action Gazette?"
"I thought that had shut down!"
"Just retooling, you can be part of the big relaunch." - ―Hera Syndulla persuades Skelly to give her information by pretending to work for the Environmental Action Gazette
The Environmental Action Gazette was a HoloNet publication that dealt with environmental action reporting. The gazette managed to put a stop to a number of business practices that the demolitions expert Skelly considered bad[1] by 11 BBY.[2] Skelly came across the gazette several times while researching how the Galactic Empire's mining involvements on the moon Cynda were damaging its integrity, but did not consider himself part of the gazette's audience.[1]
That year,[2] the Twi'lek pilot Hera Syndulla convinced Skelly she was a reporter for the Environmental Action Gazette in an attempt to learn about Skelly's research. Although Skelly believed that the gazette had been shut down, Syndulla lied by claiming it was simply retooling and offered him the chance to be part of their relaunch. Syndulla succeeded in learning about Cynda's perilous position, and although Skelly soon realized she was not truly affiliated with the gazette, they later worked together to stop the Empire from destroying the moon.[1]
