New Tabloid Media in SL — The AvaStar Launches

avastar-logo.gifA new SL newspaper — another one in PDF format — has recently been launched in SL. The AvaStar, with the motto “Your World. Your Voice.”, is published by Gregor Ginsberg (chairman of German publishers Bild.T-Online AG & Co. KG), and is a professional tabloid newspaper for the residents of Second Life. With the latest news, entertainment, style and advice – the AvaStar keeps its readers informed about the vast, diverse and ever-changing world of Second Life (from it’s About page).

The format follows the popular German tabloid’s Das Bild and promises the same level of juicy news as the RL counterpart — dealing with controversies, scandals, fashion, griefing, scalability issues, and sex — it even has a column for cybersex advice :)
