Sadat is Naru, a woman effectively separated from her creep of a husband, burdened with sole charge of their son as well as being the only earner. She is a camera operator at a Kabul TV station; she has liberated friends with western attitudes one cheerfully gives her a vibrator as a present. Naru is landed with working on sappy, soft-centred shows problem-page magazine programmes where women are patronised by sexist dopes.

Management sims are all about decisions; in News Tower, my first decision was the name of my newspaper. This being Nieman Lab, I decided to call my newspaper The Experiment. Some things about the game are all too familiar to anyone who's paid any attention to the state of journalism lately. When you first start the game, the paper is struggling: You have a few options for getting out of the hole.

Laura and Todd, both journalists, had been out for an evening of drinks with colleagues following a particularly horrific day covering the news. Gradually, the herd had thinned out until it was just the two of them, alone at the bar near 3 a.m. with a sudden weight of sexual tension between them. They'd worked together for a couple of years at this point, and each had emerged from a relationship in their early 30s to be newly single.

These days, American politics is a highly charged and dramatic landscape - and nowhere more so than in the White House press room, which can, on occasion, feel like part reality show, part bear pit. Rarely a day goes by where a press room moment doesn't go viral, for any number of reasons. And, as RTÉ's new Washington correspondent, Galwegian Jackie Fox cannot wait to immerse herself in the belly of the beast.

Two journalists were arrested in connection with their coverage of a protest. Two residents were shot and killed while documenting the actions of ICE agents in Minneapolis. And the list goes on. I spoke to Siobhan Flowers , a licensed therapist and a former television reporter, to help journalists make sense of their emotions and feelings around what's happening in the industry. To start, Flowers said, don't gaslight yourself if you are feeling more depressed about work or the stories you're covering.

That kind of pocket change can buy you a newspaper. And not just any newspaper, but a world-class paper with a wall full of Pulitzers (I remember emerging from the elevator and marveling at it as a summer intern) and decades of experience holding power to account. Alternatively, $250 million can buy half a superyacht. A yacht is a very big boat.

St. Bride's, situated in an alley just off Fleet Street, is known as the journalists' church. Having weathered not a few disastersthe Great Fire of London, in 1666, the Luftwaffe in 1940it now advertises itself as A Space for Silence, offering an hour of contemplation each weekday afternoon, yards from the world's most famous newspaper street. On a recent rain-soaked day, I arrived to find only one umbrella in the porch bucket and a church filled with lit candles and the chill of old sermons.
