One of my favorite reporters. I confess to an undying curiosity as to your "sources" especially after one or two articles popped up at interesting times, so to speak, but I guess some mysteries must remain!
Sources are the occasional evemail from people, comments in chat channels, mission briefings, object descriptions, and out-of-game data such as things from Dotlan, or things in patch notes.
Interviews with the man-on-the-street are in the spirit of things like Youtube comments, newspaper letters pages, taxi driver monologues, and other similar opinions which may not have a full grasp of the relevant facts. There is also the deer-in-headlights effect, too. Consider:
Muck Raker: "Hi, you're live on Gutter Press, broadcasting to billions across New Eden"
Interviewee: (thinks... don't say something stupid, don't say something stupid)
Interviewee: Personally, I, for one, welcome our new Quafe Girl Drone overlords.
Muck Raker: "Sen-sational!"
Interviewee: (thinks... Ah... nuts...)
