A news article from Solar News Network.
According to a newspaper clipping contained in the Picard family album during the filming of Star Trek Generations, the Solar News Network, or simply SSN, was a news distribution organization in existence during the 22nd century.
On October 11, 2161, the SSN distributed an article titled It's Federation Day!, detailing the events of the founding of the United Federation of Planets.
The clipping text comes from a background material created for Star Trek: Generations, and was not seen on-screen. Nonetheless, there is a possibility that the SSN survived into the 23rd century and had representatives among the reporters who attended the launch of the Enterprise-B at the beginning of Generations.
