Q: How do the methods Reuters’ reporters use in the real world, in places like Iraq or on Wall Street, apply in a simulation game?
Adam: It shows that the Reuters editorial principles translate pretty well, whether you are in Bagdad or whether you are in this 3-D virtual world. Being unbiased, being accurate, being fast, all the things that Reuters strives for, they hold true in just about any environment in which you would want to report the news. Obviously, you need to adapt to the fact that you have things like anonymous avatars, but the principles are still the same.
