Example#

A record from the base game’s data/media/outlets.json, shortened.

{
  "id": "core.outlet.alpenkurier",
  "name": "Alpenkurier",
  "shortName": "Alpenkurier",
  "kind": "broadsheet",
  "colour": "#8d1b2b",
  "country": "AUT",
  "weight": 0.5,
  "beats": [
    "result",
    "upset",
    "ranking",
    /* … 4 more */
  ],
  "description": "The national paper of record. It finds room for darts when an Austrian is winning, which is more often than it used to be."
}

In your pack the record’s id starts with your pack’s id instead of core, unless you mean to replace this one.
