What is the Black Horse Courier? Well, here's a bit of History:
The Black Horse Courier is a popular newspaper company based in the Imperial City. It is owned by three Khajiit brothers: Hassiri, Ra'jiradh and Urjabhi. The Empire funds the Courier, so the paper is always free.Changelog

This mod reintroduces Oblivion's Black Horse Courier in Skyrim. 200 years after the event of the Oblivion Crisis, the company is back to bring news to the inhabitants of Tamriel. The Black Horse Courier is now unsupported by the Empire, and therefore is sadly not free anymore.
So, how does it work?
You will find reporters in some cities (particularly in taverns) in Skyrim. These reporters will sell you two types of papers:
- []Special Editions are quest-related. As you finish main quests, they will get reported in the Black Horse.[/]
[]Normal Editions are procedurally-generated papers. Random sentences will be created. For example: "A has been by near the city of . People of are about this." This creates the opportunity for sometimes dramatic reports, or more humorous ones. The news related there are purely for roleplay purpose, but the last section, named "Jo'vassa's rumours and gossips", will give you some real tips, for example where to find word walls. The Black horse Courier will also report the death of some important NPC's and people who may or may not be involved in the death. For example, the Courier reported the disappearance of Katria... Sorry Katria, you will be remembered. Jo'vassa also gives you some tips for the gameplay. Won't spoil you the surprise![/]
If you don't want to buy the newspapers, you can choose to subscribe for 500 Septims. Just talk to a reporter and tell him you wish to subscribe. A courier will deliver them from time to time. Your subscription will expire after a month or so; you will get a warning via the vanilla courier system when that happens.
Also, when you read a newspaper, there is a small chance that it will increase your "Speechcraft" skill, just like skill books.
