This is good news for Eric, because now he can get a real job and get started on his post J-school career.

But it's bad news for the world because it means Reuters isn't really manning a bureau there, and taking it as an actual place. I imagine it will fade away like other big corporations because they won't find enough to do. Eric was really good at mining all the drama for the nuggets of actual stories, but there are only so many. SL is still at the level of samizdat, as it is a closed society.
