Lanai Jarrico, smiling down at her shoes, standing firmly with a dressy

top and black skirt holding a newspaper. One of Second Life’s most special

people wants the best for everyone.

“She is someone special in both worlds as well in virtual,” Said head

writer for Second life Lucy Muricastle.

A close friend of Lanai Jarrico and virtual sister Lucy Muricastle,

who is the head writer for Second Life talked about Jarrico writing experi-

ences and how she is a great inspiration for other young women journalists

that want to write news in Second Life.

“Lanai has been writing for years. She started in Sims and has been

doing incredible work for eight years now, I enjoy working with her by my

side,” Muricastle said.

Lanai Jarrico has developed a passion for meeting new people with an open

heart. She is the CEO president of the Second Life Enquirer and had been

reporting virtual news in second life since 2005. Jarrico began covering

virtual news for eight years and two years in Sims online when she launched

the original TSO Enquirer in 2004.

As a reporter in Second life, Jarrico knows what stories sparked her interest

the most and will make it top priority. In fact, she mentioned that most of

her stories covered interviews with residents in various topics like her last

week interview with Paramount Playhouse.

“I recently interviewed a fashion designer about his collection and

I am currently working on other articles on venues

and activities,” Jarrico said.

The Paramouth Playhouse is a team that produces and

performs burlesque style shows in second life. When she is

not behind the scenes at the Second Life Enquirer, writing,

editing or publishing articles that her writers submit she is

training new staff.

“I like to find my news by exploring different Sims

and assigning them to my staff or writing them myself,”

Jarrico said. Also she discussed about how clients that

come to her feature their talents, products, services and

venues.

There is no big difference when it comes to real life news

and Second Life news stories. Jarrico believes that the

Second Life Enquirer has always been a virtual world

news source for residents. Occasionally, she does reports

news that crosses over to real life with some relation with

Second Life.

There is no big difference when it comes to real life news and Sec-

ond Life news stories. Jarrico believes that the Second Life Enquirer

has always been a virtual world news source for residents. Occa-

sionally, she does reports news that crosses over to real life with

some relation with Second Life.

“I spoke with a real artist that showcases her artwork in Second Life. But people can also purchase her paintings in real world and the same goes for musicians I feature,” Jarrico included.While reporting virtually, Lanai Jarrico explained that she has no real world expe-rience working for a local newspaper but thinks the organization of an online source is similar in the fact that management, staff and news contributors can be from any-where around the world and have good real world experience.“Management, good work ethic, integrity

and professionalism all keep me being the longest running news source in Second Life,” Jarrico replied.Residents in Second Life are not always watching TV, most of them are active and can find news through other sources depending on their preferences. She re-sponded that many also like to use blogs or social network and radio and machini-ma videos.

Another close friend of Jarrico and virtual sister Persia

Bravin, who is CEO of BOSL radio talked about how

there is no defining person who listens to the radio.

“We aim to cater for SL residents in general and

this is reflected in our music and styles of show,” Bravin

said. She also stated that they are the most popular

with the fashion crowd who want to hear news of fash-

ion events and hear their favorite designers in voice.

I asked Bravin what do people look for in Second Life

and she answered.

“In general, I think most people look for fun,

an escape from their real life and the chance to talk

with people from across the globe,” Bravin said.

Journalism is changing social media tremen-

dously. Blogging has played a special role for anyone

to report news or share information. Jarrico touched

on professional journalism being flooded by freelance

writers and bloggers. She discussed that journalism

can be taken as a fact online.

“My experiences in Second Life inspired me to go to school for the de-

grees I need in communication, and Technology so that it will give me real world

standing and more options in the field of media.” Jarrico stated.

She is a hard worker, Lanai Jarrico, CEO president of the Second Life

Enquirer and, an outstanding virtual journalist has become an advocate for her

Second Life Community.

“The demand for virtual world media and the virtual world itself keeps

me inspired and motivated to continue to what I do,” Jarrico said.
