Krabby Kronicle
The Krabby Kronicle was a newspaper that was only featured in the episode The Krabby Kronicle. The Krabby Kronicle was the official newspaper of the Krusty Krab. It is best described as a tabloid.
History
The Krabby Kronicle was founded by Eugene H. Krabs when he sprouted an idea to promote the Krusty Krab, which had no new customers in months, and make some cash. Krabs installed a printing press and a Krabby Kronicle sign and hired SpongeBob SquarePants to be the reporter/photographer to make up stories, with Squidward Tentacles selling the paper. When SpongeBob "messed" it up and made it boring to read, Krabs forced him to exaggerate and make it exciting.
The Krabby Kronicle was in its prime time by writing false news in the papers and charging 25 cents per word, selling over 5 billion copies at its peak. SpongeBob made the papers and reported on "news," while Mr. Krabs admired the cash he was making because of the Krabby Kronicle. However, SpongeBob saw the citizens' lives becoming living miseries because of it and tried to tell Krabs, but he wouldn't listen. He eventually turned against Krabs and decided to make him stick up to the truth, staying up all night long and writing a bogus news article that claimed Mr. Krabs was forcing him to write bogus stories and paid him pennies while he adored the money he was making because of the paper.
The Krabby Kronicle was shut down after the truth about the paper was revealed. When the entire city was affected and saw SpongeBob's news article reporting of how Mr. Krabs was overworking him and paying him pennies, they threw a riot in the Krusty Krab, surprising Krabs. They told him of how it ruined their lives, and one woman called Krabs' treatment of the city and SpongeBob sick and inhumane. Then they took their money back and left.
Mr. Krabs decided to counterfeit money using the Krabby Kronicle news press. By now, everybody was furious of all the lies and separated from him. Strangely, however, Patrick Star, the subject of the first Krabby Kronicle issue, was actually married to the street pole described in the newspaper because of the lie. This surprised SpongeBob and Krabs. Krabs soon forgot about the newspaper, and what happened to the press after that is unknown.
