Basic Trope: A fictional news organization ends in the letter N.
- Straight: Mary gets her news from NCN, or Neon City News.
- Exaggerated: It's NCNAGNEN, for Neon City News And Global Networking Engagements, Now!
- Downplayed:
- The global company is called the NCT, Neon City Tribune, but a sub-division is the NCN.
- NCN is a Fan Nickname.
- Justified: The news department wanted to make sure that their purpose could be reasonably inferred from their acronym.
- Inverted: A news company starts with the letter "N", for "News". For example, the NFNC, or News From Neon City.
- Subverted: The N doesn't stand for News. It's the Neon City Noticeboard.
- Double Subverted: The staff realize that "Noticeboard" doesn't fit as well as just plain "News", and rename it.
- Parodied: It's called the NCNN, or Neon City New News.
- Zig-Zagged: Neon City News changes their name often. Sometimes it ends in News, and other times it doesn't.
- Averted: The news organization is called NCL, or Neon City Live.
- Enforced: "Mary listens to a news station, but we have to make sure that's obvious from the name. Let's make it something like NCN, since our viewers will be familiar with CNN."
- Lampshaded: "Hey, it's called the Neon City News!"
- Invoked: Neon City's government chooses the name.
- Exploited: The NCN gains popularity because its acronym is easy to remember and understand.
- Defied: Mary starts a sports team called the Neon City Narwhals. To avoid Acronym Confusion, her local news company has to be called something else.
- Discussed: "Why do so many news organizations end with the word News or Network?"
- Conversed: "I bet this NCN that Mary's listening to is some news station, like CNN."
- Implied: "There was this news network, called Neon City... something. I think it ended with an N."
And now, it's ANN (Alphabet News Network) coming at you live from Agri World!
