It has been a while since the "The Mittani.com" showed up. There was quite a tempest in a teapot about this on the forums with pleges being made to always or to never read it - that it will be the worst or the best source of information.

Things cooled a bit down, so which "Newspage" is taking the lead? Did Eve24 change? What are you reading?

Don't know where you've been, but themittani.com has clearly taken over from evenews24. As biased as you would think the site would be, it's actually quite neutral with many writers offering perspectives instead of the sensationalist anti-journalism that the Fox News of internet spaceship politics is famous for.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

There really isn't a contest...

This is like comparing Al Jazeera and Fox News.

Both have some interesting articles and while themittens.com is better written, the name really does show Goonswarms need for attention.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

I for one greet more news sites to give us unbiased and quality journalism from various perspectives. And even if it is biased, I can go to another site to check out their biased news.

As for theMittani, I like articles in their "feature" part, I don't care about "news" especially not news on pixel wars. I never really was into evenews24 so meh...

Al Jazeera would win by a country mile.

They did a really good job of covering the Libyan uprising.

I would no more read The Mittani.com than I would read a newspaper by R. Murdoch and his acolytes and expect to find impartial news reportage.

This is not a signature.

This

I like some of the articles they post on TM.com. I like how they have poke fun at goons and allies. But hate the name and it just comes along as some ego trip.


On the other hand has a better variety of articles, sometimes badly written has a better variety

You mean like every post made on the eve-o forums?

You do realise the mittani.com is al Jazeera right. If ever there was a Fox news of EVE its EN24.

EN24 is so bad, it's not even a contest.

Would never read either because I'm sure they both give balanced views.

Themittani isn't that great, or entirely neutral, however Evenews24 is so abysmal it's impossible not to beat.

Honestly a 4chan thread about Eve would be less full of tards than Evenews24.

I've seen both sites and I'm not impressed by either. Most of it is battle reports from nullsec which is incredibly dull and boring. Like listening to Rimmer talk about a game of Risk. Not at all interesting.

Sometimes one site or another will have an interesting article, but those are few and far between. I've seen dev blogs written with more frequency than interesting EvE articles on these sites.

I'm sure both would happily accept articles on things happening in hisec/lowsec as well, however none of the current writers (who have signed up) have an inclination of writing of such things.

Care to make an attempt at rectifying this?
