The map that accompanied the game had a map provided by the newspaper. Liberty Tree was featured prominently in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] through [[Ned Burner]], who pretends to be a preacher. He gives missions to [[Protagonist|protagonist]] [[Toni Cipriani]] from a confessional box in the cathedral in [[Bedford Point]], saying that they will help save him. The first [[L.C. Confidential|mission]] is to retrieve a briefcase from an FBI informant before he hands it to the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], and then delivering it to the Liberty Tree offices. Cipriani then [[The Passion of the Heist|steals another briefcase containing diamonds]], and then [[Karmageddon|creates chaos]] on [[Staunton Island]] whilst driving a [[Firetruck]]. The final [[False Idols|mission]] for Burner was killing three celebrities ([[Faith W.]], [[DB-P]] and [[Black Lightman]]) on their way to an interview with [[Liberty City Free Radio]]. Burner would report on each story: the first about an athlete on steroids, the stealing of diamonds, chaos on Staunton Island and the death of three celebrities. Burner would eventually be [[Stop the Press|killed]] by Cipriani on orders from [[Donald Love]] as Burner witnessed the [[Panlantic Land Grab|killing]] of [[Avery Carrington]].
