That’s what I do for sports reports. Say if you’re doing interplanetary yacht racing, go find the Fastnet reports from say 2004 change the names and slightly alter the content to fit.

Grav racing? Formular 1 from 1998. Everything is already there, news reports, placings, race placing, driver and constructor championships.

Le Cross? The Premiship from 2012 …

And if you have it per system (or planet) you only have to do one or two reports because when the PCs jump they are on to the next planet and the next sport etc. It’s only the once every 5 years subsector sporting events that you need to keep going while the PCs travel.
