'''Ned Burner''' is a character in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series that appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. He is a reporter for the [[Liberty Tree]] newspaper. He is voiced by [[Peter Bradbury]], who has also appeared in ''Law & Order: Criminal Intent''.


Ned impersonates a priest in a confession box in order to trick [[Toni Cipriani|Toni]] into doing missions for him, which are meant to cause chaos. This way, Ned will be the first to report on the destruction Toni causes, since he is the one who told Toni to do it. Among the obscene jobs Burner tricks Toni into completing involve killing a federal witness, stealing diamonds, and slaughtering three celebrities in town for a movie premiere (allegedly because one of them refused to give Burner "an exclusive").
