In 2385, on First Contact Day, this network covered the attack on the planet Mars by rogue synths. (ST: "Children of Mars")

That same year, Richter, a Federation News Network reporter, interviewed retired admiral Jean-Luc Picard in his study at Château Picard in France on the anniversary of the Romulan supernova. Despite establishing pre-interview conditions that Picard's departure from Starfleet would not be discussed, the interviewer rapidly segued from the Romulan refugee crisis to the synth attack on Mars and Picard's resignation. After defending his actions and criticizing Starfleet's decisions, Picard abruptly ended the interview. The interview was broadcast live, and was seen by Dahj Asha on displays in a public street shortly after she was attacked, prompting her to seek out Picard. (PIC: "Remembrance")

According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, reporters from the FNN were present to report on the new USS Enterprise-B's shakedown cruise through the Sol system in Star Trek Generations, but none of the reporters actually wears a badge with the logo.
