Use Adblock though...
Don't get me wrong even with the awful propaganda sounding name and url http://themittani.com oh just don't type http://themittani.org
The site its self looks clean and nice I just would like to see more articles of every major battle and well lets face it videos

This is the story the rest is just padding
The Eve News 24 story seemed a lot more detailed.
Like I said I'd rather read a narrative than a step by step approach to each specific action in the fight. I find a outline of what occurred much easier reading when I'm trying to get a bigger picture of the fight. About the "padding" what's wrong with background in an article? Some people enjoy the politics and greater strategic importance that go into these fights and not just a step by step accounting. (people like me basically. I turn up to these fights but sometimes I don't have a clue what's in the bigger picture besides "we're taking this space/moon. It's nice to see a written account from the people who do.)
But now this is just apples and oranges.
edit: I too would like to see images and video's breaking up the text. But maybe that's just not what they're going for. Given it's only been a week it's still early days yet. |

I didn't say there was anything wrong with the padding, just the fact it was not the commentary on the actual fight.
Yes there is a bigger picture to almost everything in EvE and I am yet to find a website that discloses all I would like to know.

Same here. I reckon if they got more contributors from everywhere in EVE (hence why I suggested you put something forward) the site could provide that. But I can imagine people are still put off by the name at this point. I would myself if they didn't already have my side already covered in a far more literate fashion. As soon as they can get more writers from -A- and NC./BL/IRC that'll help smoothen things out. Regardless of my aligned background it's nice to see a site that wants to cover it all as opposed to simply provide a commentary from their own perspective/agenda. Basically, Riv is one bitter Panamanian. |

You name the site themittanidotcom and are baffled people are not lining up in droves to go there? lol You immediately force the readers to pick a side. Isn't this thread evidence enough that you need to change it to something more neutral? Was internetspaceshipsisseriousbusiness.com already taken?

Surprisingly unbiased news site. I think the name isn't the best choice as to the immediate pubbie viewing it they'll think the worst. |

EvE politics aside, I work in the news/web content industry and was rather impressed with the quality. I've seen more blatant yellow journalism and bias to be sure. So, I remain open-minded, if not optimistic, about the publication. It's pretty snazzy looking too. +1
Darn. I really hate admitting this, too.
Otherwise, competition is a good thing, so I look for Eve News 24 to step up their game as well.
