Foundation
Hitochi Press was founded by Kenai Umeji, a Shudonese Naval Captain that had started a newspaper service in his hometown of Hitochi, providing newspapers to the area, and later television shows (with support from Homegroup Media) the company had been a proxy for hosting television northern, where Homegroup Media had taken advantage of to use for its Media expansion during its slump in revenue, without loosing a lot of money. The company eventually had ended its contracts with Homegroup and in 1955 began producing its own television shows such as Makkuro Morning, a morning news (and later talk show) that broadcasts to all of Shushtrepistaz, reporting mainly on national and international news.

Domestic Growth (1960-1970)
As Makkuro Morning had gained fame in 1960, the company had produced 18 other shows to fill up its 12 hour line up, including Manga Jikan, a hour long children's television show that was popular in most of Shushtrepistaz. The company had eventually split up its channel hosting into 3 and 4, 3 being for news related shows and 4 for being primarily entertainment shows. Hitochi press continued its many newspapers along Northern Shushtrepistaz, and later had acquired the Das'gotn Media Group that had owned many Newspapers and television shows that were primarily broadcasted in Central Shushtrepistaz. At the end of 1965 the company had became the largest media company in Shushtrepistaz. The company had soon changed its name to Newsfeed Hitochi, under Heyin Umeji, the son of Kenai and the CEO during that period. In 1968 the company had started a subsidiary under the name of Hitochi Publishing, which was responsible for book publishing, a new domestic trade which was originally held by international companies.

International Expansion (1971-2000)
As the domestic market began to close, the company had expanded to an international market, where they had expanded to other nations like Hiigara, where they had expanded their television industry opening new shows aimed at Hiigaran Audiences, some examples include Власть народу Power to the People, a show that discussed politics from a citizens perspective, and had become the most popular political show in the nation. The company having success in Syldavia had expanded to Okatabawashi, with less favorable results, but had generated profits. By this time the company had created a new channel known as the Politics Channel and the Nitelife Channel which both had success in Shushtrepistaz and Syldavia. In 1978 the company had began broadcasting television shows in Europe in Ciarnesia with its Nitelife Channel and People's Channel. The company had eventually changed its entertainment channels and split them into three, Go!, Dorama Channel, and Yakasubi Channel, which hosted a wide range of shows from cartoons on Go! to Dramas and Game Shows on Dorama and Yakasubi. The Yakasubi Channel in 1981 was scrapped and merged with channel 4, which had been converted to news. In 1983 Newsfeed Europe had been formed to manage the media distribution in Europe. During the same time frame, Newsfeed came out with BNC, a channel focusing on Business news, and later reformatted their channel 4 and created INC which was primarily broadcasted to Non-Shudonese viewers. In 1988 the company purchased Yamakaro Networking, their main service provider for their television shows. In 1989 the company was named Newsfeed International and had began broadcasting all over Eastern Asia and Eastern Europe.

Homegroup Media Acquisition
Due to the large profit loss of the Homegroup Media Company during the 80's the company had filed for bankruptcy, Newsfeed International, wanting to help the company that brought them to power had bought Homegroup Media and used it to gain a stranglehold over media in Shushtrepistaz, but because of a anti-trust case the company had to sell off parts of Homegroup Media's subsidiaries including Yannoi.
