International news service Reuters announced today that it plans to open a virtual news bureau in the online virtual reality game Second Life from San Francisco’s Linden Lab. The bureau will be run by a virtual representation of Reuters correspondent Adam Pasick, who will be present in the game under the name “Adam Reuters.”
“As strange as it might seem, it’s not that different from being a reporter in the real world,” Pasick said in a statement. “Once you get used to it—it becomes very much like the job I have been doing for years.”
