While preparing another feature, this notice came across my virtual desk from Jilly Kidd of Written Word announcing the closure of the London School of Journalism (LSJ) operations in Second Life :
“We're sorry to say the LSJ is leaving Second Life in mid-March. Do pop over to enjoy this lovely island in the final weeks and to enjoy what the LSJ has been doing here.
“We're grateful for the space the LSJ has provided for writers and for writing events . . . The LSJ teaches writing in a variety of forms as well as journalism and has a great free contest on the website every month, so stay in touch.”
While no specific information is available, it is not hard to connect this closure with the recent change in the pricing structure that eliminates tier discounts for Education and Non-Profit land owners on the Second Life grid.
