New media in new blog

I’ve been working on an extension of my international media project: I am going to create a section on my Web site dedicated to Second Life. This section will actually be a whole separate site called Media in Second Life.
My goal is to conduct several interviews with Second Life reporters and international media staff from the in-world, that is, for example, iReporters, and reporters from mainstream media and news agencies such as Reuters.
I will post these interviews along with related multimedia content as I complete them.
I will cover aspects from audience to content to technical aspects of reporting from the in-world, as well as background information on each of the groups I contact in Second Life. One of my main interests after knowing Second Life a little better than I did before, is why some reporters have left real world media to start reporting from Second Life. Also, I would like to ask them what are the differences when reporting from the in-world and the amount of time they spent on it, no matter if they do it as professionals or as a hobby.
Finally, I will try to make connections between Second Life and the blogosphere and Facebook, where some of the groups gather too. I specifically expect interactivity both with and from these groups. I’ll try having my site posted on their group pages and maybe some related Blogs so I can publicize it.
The Web site will include multimedia content, as I will convert my reports into news stories with photos and videos from my interviews in Second Life.
I invite you to read those interviews and check for groups, networks and contacts in my new site. This is how I will organize it:
