Comic book writers Warren Ellis to write weekly column on Second Life for ReutersThe Reuters news service, which has a bureau in Second Life, has just scored a huge coup, having recruited comic book writer Warren Ellis to write a weekly column on Second Life. Ellis’s musings on SL at his own site are always interesting, and pleasingly bloody-minded. It’s both pleasing and surprising to see Reuters land him, as the news service is not exactly known for its reverence irreverrence. When I worked there, more than ten years ago, it would have been unthinkable to establish a news bureau anywhere near cyberspace, let alone recruit someone so resolutely individualist as Ellis to write a column about it. The column will also bring greater exposure to a writer who definitely deserves it. Go, Reuters!
