Is there a better news source than themittani.com or evenews24.com ? I do read articles from both sites but goon-bias and spotty quality [EveNews24] are ... irritating. Is there a better source for information other than the two sites I just listed?

To be fair, both pages are well done and generally informative but ... I dunno ... missing something, in my opinion.

Thoughts?

Thank me later :D

There isn't much credibility to the claims of pro-Goon bias on TMC considering that a lot of our enemies are frequent contributors.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

I believe whatever The Mittani tells me to believe. But don't use his website because it is too bias and I don't like that.

CCP Dev blogs. Those actually contain news instead of an opinion about something that happened in nullsec.

Honestly, I've read maybe one or two and look at them as detailed Patch Notes ... I'll take a second look, thanks.

NPC corp chat is the best source for up-to-date EVE information.

Or so I hear.

As a writer for TMC, I like to think that we provide the best source of Eve news, in both quality and quantity.

If you're looking for a better new site than TMC or EN24, it's simply not going to happen. Honestly, no other group is going to be able to consistently report on news better or faster. If what you're looking for is more information about eve without any bias at all, what you should be looking at are the various forum communities where people from all sides contribute. The three that come to mind first would be Kugu, FHC, and eve-ru, all of which have been used as sources in our articles.

For example, the loss of the GSF station egg in catch (?) that predated CFC's involvement in the Halloween War was first posted by The Mittani on Kugu. Other sites like FHC have constant discussions about various battles, and summaries from the people who actually commanded the fleets. Finally, eve-ru is a great place if you feel like sifting through Russian jargon to try and gleam secrets - the dumps that come from the dev server "chaos" are almost always posted there exclusively.

TL;DR
The only way you're going to get more news than what TMC provides is by going to the source.

Also, there are a lot of staff at TMC who are either completely neutral or aligned with N3/PL, and there are even those who (gasp) simply don't care about nullsec politics and write or stream about other things. If you think we do a poor job of reporting the news, you're more than welcome to submit an article of your own.



Can't shoot blues if you don't have any. Long Live NPSI.
