Caladain Barton Navy of Xoc Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2010.05.17 22:59:00 - [1] ISD has issues. We all know this. They do the best they can, but "news" shows up weeks and weeks later, and is often horribly inaccurate. Much like the rest of eve, this happened in real life too. Now news from the front arrives in hours/minutes even. In short: ISD needs to do embedded war coverage. Put reporters in the NC fleets, in the SC fleets (get on coms, warp with fleet, etc). Maybe they don't shoot. That's fine. But then at least they'd have eyes on the battle and could listen in to the FC. Read the alliance mails and forum posts, etc, and give us accurate reporting. No more Ray Butts and non-existent cap fleets dying.
Blane Xero Amarr The Firestorm Cartel	Posted - 2010.05.17 23:04:00 - [2] Nobody would abuse that kind of intimacy with alliances. Ever. Especially not volunteers of all people. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008 Originally by: CCP Fallout :facepalm:

Especially not volunteers of all people. Of course not volunteers ; that's why we have such epic lol's as developers doing that. (circa 2006-2008). Warmly, "The Bear" JW
Cat o'Ninetails Caldari Rancer Defence League	Posted - 2010.05.17 23:46:00 - [4] Is the problem that CCP need to review and approve all the news items? I've heard devs talk about their devblogs, and that they go through some QA type process. x My Facebook!
Namira Sable	Posted - 2010.05.18 00:20:00 - [5] The flaws lies that in an interest to remain unbiased the ISD are only permitted to report on events that do not involve their main characters. For the war in the North there are very few ISD not directly, or indirectly for that matter, involved. As a result you see coverage of things that don't matter when most of 0.0 is engaged. I am assuming you were referring to the lack of coverage on the events in the North of course.

Let the reporters do what reporters have always done..unbiased reporting isn't hard, especially if an editor has multiple embedded correspondents to "glean" the truth from. Or hell, give both sides unedited.

I've heard devs talk about their devblogs, and that they go through some QA type process. x That's quite right I guess. It's posted on CCP sites so I guess it has to go threw a process equally long to petitions before it's posted. And first you have to write it... If you don't catch someone online you have to mail him or something? Especially if he's a key figure in the article. Waiting for a reply can take a week? Maybe more? Not sure how long they wait untill they decide that someone won't reply at all? And very often for one article you have to interview at least a few people from each side of every single engagement you try to write about? So catch like 10 people? Very often you can't just quote them judging from the level of english in many channels of eve. You have to heavily correct it. Not to mention that the volunteers have their own lives. And how many IC are there at all? 10? 12? And look how many events take place. They also live in time zones and have to try to catch people in the right moment to get a few words of comment. And they can't work OOC, so makes it tripple hard for them since they can't directly ask you 'what happened on january 12th'. All that makes news work slow, I guess if they were actually PAID real money they would work harder. Even little money like I don't know, 10 bucks per article would work for me. Not sure if it'd work for them.

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2010.05.18 08:34:00 - [8] I can write some news, but it probably would contain lots and lots of stories that is of very little interest to non-rock loving readers But hey it'd be neutral Secure 3rd party service \| my in-game channel 'Holy Veldspar'

The current situation is very rocky, the Joint Forces of Hulks are on a daily basis depleting the various asteroid belts in high-sec, however the respawn rate of the the rocks has of lately been improved thus providing the constant fight of territory. There are even rumors about hired suicide pilots giving the belt hangarounds the advantage and quicker respawns. So at the moment there is no clear winner, but we will continue to monitor and report the progress of both sides. One thing is for sure, the Jita mineral market has never been the same! This is Chribba reporting, for New Eden Galactic BearNews. Over to you Tom. Secure 3rd party service \| my in-game channel 'Holy Veldspar'

Angeli Domini Amarr	Posted - 2010.05.18 08:48:00 - [11] The concepts you present intrigue me and I want to subscribe to your newsletter.
Mephiston Lucius	Posted - 2010.05.18 08:48:00 - [12] <3 Chrib.. :) on the news thing hey atleast we doesnt want video covarege :p (but i'd be awesome isnt itttt ??? p: reporting a battle "live" like alliance tournaments :])
blind deathwish	Posted - 2010.05.18 10:58:00 - [13] Agreed news coverage can be improved, here are a few solutions: 1) does ISD know of everything going on? Maybe not. Is there any way to notify them? 2) maybe ISD is low on numbers, at the end of each article they ask for recruits. Maybe people should apply just to check it out whether the process works or not. 3) player driven news agencies. EVE has banks and IPOs and diplomatics... why not news agencies too? /me throws just 2 cents
Nelix Trist Caldari The Fated E.Y	Posted - 2010.05.18 12:39:00 - [14] Could even intergrate this with the CSM... They have agents all over the place. If they know something let the IC guys know about it, and there you go... News coming to you first from the Eve ISD paps! <--- (Now that would be a good job!) Emm?"Cant touch this" den der der dum, der dum der dum KILLING THE BUG'S, BEFORE THEY KILL YOU

Actually, why don't CSM representatives take care of ISD issue? CSM includes representatives from major alliances and powerblocks. It is in their interest to propose alternatives if they believe ISD is broken. However, they might as well ask their pilots to partecipate to ISD to improve its performance.
