'''Kyle Orland''' is a video gaming journalist for [[Ars Technica]] and has written for Joystiq, Crispy Gamer, [[Gamasutra]], MSNBC, NPR, EGM, [[Gamespot]], and [[The Escapist]].<ref>[http://arstechnica.com/author/kyle-orland/ Kyle Orland | Ars Technica]</ref>

He was the creator of the Google Group [[GameJournoPros]], a private mailing list for video game journalists that has fueled accusations of [[corruption]], [[collusion]], and narrative framing occurring in the American video game journalism industry.

==Creation of GameJournoPros==
Orland created [[GameJournoPros]] on August 31, 2010, stating that it was inspired by the original [[JournoList]],<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/uP6HvaD.jpg Kyle Orland e-mail, September 4]</ref> a private mailing list among left-leaning journalists that closed in 2010 upon its controversial reveal.<ref>[http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/06/on_journolist_and_dave_weigel.html Ezra Klein: On Journolist, and Dave Weigel]</ref>

==Role in GamerGate==
On August 19, 2014, Orland sent an e-mail regarding the [[Zoe Quinn Scandal]] to fellow members of [[GameJournoPros]]. In it, he proposed the idea of sending [[Zoe Quinn]] words of support and considered giving her game, Depression Quest, more attention in response to the scandal.
{{quote|''Maybe we should get a public letter of support going around decrying these kinds of personal attacks, signed by as many sympathetic journalists/developers as we can. Maybe we should just use this as an excuse to give more attention to her work… I know I’ve been meaning to review Depression Quest since its Steam release.''}} However, his ideas, as well as a proposal to send Quinn a group letter of support, were opposed by most responders of the e-mails and thus never came to fruition.<ref>[http://yiannopoulos.net/2014/09/19/gamejournopros-zoe-quinn-email-dump/ GameJournoPros Zoe Quinn email thread dump]</ref>
