Second Life

CNN sets up shop in Second Life

While Second Life has been in the news recently for things extremely disturbing and sickening, the game's developer, Linden Lab, obviously doesn't condone such actions.

Today, however, the game is in the news for a positive reason. CNN has opened up an in-world news hub that will allow users to report news directly to this specialized CNN hub called SL I-Reports. CNN will then review the content submitted and select news to air to the Second Life population, within the game.

There's even a possibility that news reports will be selected to be covered in CNN.com's SL I-Report Blog, a new blog created specifically to merge Second Life's in-world with the world wide web.

Citizens of Second Life will be able to attend special in-world weekly editorial discussions, held by CNN producers at the Second Life CNN I-Report hub. CNN's first in-world training session will take place Tuesday, November 13th, at 5 PM ET at their I-Report Hub, so what are you waiting for? Grab your clipboard and ready your filming or reporting skills; it's your time to bring news to the Second Life community.
