Bringing Back the Journal of Justice?

I know that it may sound kind of random, but I miss being able to read more about champion lores-via the Journal of Justice. A large part of why I play League of Legends is because of the artwork and story that come along with the characters that we play. The world that Riot made for the game is pretty expansive, and reading about how the characters interacted with Runeterra was always fun to read in my spare time, even during the times that I hadn't started playing League yet or even when I didn't feel like playing the game.

That being said, I can understand why the initially discontinued it. At the time (I think, not completely positive), Summoner's Rift was still official lore. However, I feel that now the way Riot does Lore of League seems to be on a pretty clear-cut path, that the Journal of Justice deserves a comeback.

What do y'all think? I'd love to have a weekly read like the Journal again.

The big problem I see is that now Runeterra is far more disconnected than in the old lore.

How would journalists be able to gather information from Demacia,Noxus,the freljord,etc.if it'd take them weeks to get from one place to another?

On a side note: You are aware of the long lores are you?It sounds a bit like you think that we don't get much lore nowadays and Riot doesn't do a very good job at making the long lores easily accessible.

No, the old tabloid JoJ story telling style doesn't fit the new lore.

They gutted everything that made the JoJ possible.

It won't come back. Especially now that the fight to restore the lore has been given up.
