However, while in real life both users and reporterds, as well as media company owners, are protected and forced to obey certain rules, regulations in SL are still too weak, way too unknown to compare media in both worlds. The MBC is an example of how rapidly avatars can create outlets in SL and report as they would do in real life. In addition to that, SL popular bloggers will provide content to the Metaverse Tribune and MBC too. We always invite residents to send in stories that they think need coverage,” Hax said. “ is usually a mix of public news stories and our own exlusives. Hax has about ten reporters to contribute to the publication, but also hopes that The Metaverse Tribune will help draw audiences to MBC. “There are a lot of differences obviously RL and SL but I’d say the same standard of ethics for both reporting and running a business are the same,” Hax said.

Hax doesn’t provide his reporters with a code of ethics or rules that he wants to be followed when reporting SL events or news.

However, this doesn’t mean that he will release just any kind of content. While other outlets must publish content under DMCA and copyrigh rules by Second Life, MBC is released online, not within Second Life.Īs Hax explains, the channel is “ outside of linden jurisdiction because its streamed from the internet.” And both publications are under special regulations in relation to Second Life. MBC has a partner publication online, The Metaverse Tribune.

His team of anchors and editors – Dousa Dragonash, Recka Wuyts, and Vijay Saeed- will be in charge of finding the people, the stories and coordinating all the content. “ The channels goal is to be the hub for all activity in the “Metaverse” and be sort of a background to people’s second lives,” Hax said. Hax created MBC “from scratch” and is now looking for SL reporters and citizen journalists who will submit content for his channel.

The conversation with Hax gives us a good idea on what it means to create a TV station within Second Life, catch reporters’ attention to have them send reports as citizen journalists and to what extent journalists and media owners can control the veracity of what is being reported.
