Just a couple things that aren't immediately evident or covered by the tutorial.
Gameplay
Events only occur as the time moves forward. This happens very slowly, but you can accelerate it by clicking on the clock. Also, some reporter commands have a ">" button next to them, which will execute the command and also shift time into accelerated speed. When an event occurs, the time stops until it is resolved.
The colored circles on the status bar represent available reporters in the office (left side) and currently disabled reporters (right side). The < and > icons in the status bar allow you to browse the game history.
The files on the chart (main office) are the reporters' stories. At 2am and 2pm, best three stories are selected and published automatically, for which the player is instantly rewarded with $.
Control
Tutorial Fixes
The Laboratory mentioned in the tutorial is actually an advanced feature, mostly reserved for higher difficulty levels, so you can simply ignore it for now.
Also, the tutorial keeps informing you that you can items in Encounters, but the reporters also Auto Equip, which is confusing.
