I'm not sure where to post a list of SL pubs in here, but let's start a running list through replies and then compile it for later.
To start off...

1. The Looking Glass - http://www.slookinglass.com//
TLG is looking for journalists. One quality needed: an efficient, pushy style. Your mission: find the fact, bring it back, turn it into a story and deliver it. Contact Lexa Dryke.

2. SLentrepreneur - http://www.slentre.com/
Slentrepreneur is a collaborative effort by an international team of Second Life residents. The project is being spearheaded by Avarie Parker, real life web designer and internet marketing specialist. Have a suggestion for an article? Email [e-mail].

3. SLNN.com - http://www.slnn.com/

4. Metaverse Messenger - http://www.metaversemessenger.com/
The Metaverse Messenger (M2) was created by Katt Kongo and Phoenix Psaltery in August of 2005 to provide the virtual world of Second Life™ with a news source that was influenced by and distributed in the style of a conventional newspaper.

The M2 is a weekly newspaper (published as an online PDF at www.metaversemessenger.com) covering Second Life. With a readership of over 100,000 residents, the M2 is the most widely read newspaper in Second Life.
