Having an excellent experience syndicating Ripard Teg with Mintchip, Endie and Easley Thames before him, we have decided to open our syndicated offering to all writers available. Having around 100,000 unique readers every month has permitted Eve News24 to stay on top as the most important Eve News website, but make no mistake, this is no chest-beating material as running this monster takes time and effort, both of which would be worthless if it wasn’t by our reader’s loyalty and the thriving community we have brought together.
Open Call for Bloggers and the ever evolving nature of Eve News24.
When Czech and I first started Eve News24, we took websites like the Wired, Gizmodo, Engadget and the Huffington Post as prime examples of what a crowd sourced media outlet could grow to be. More than a year after we set this goal, we have maintained our effort to bring you the latest news within EVE Online and the most relevant opinion articles to allow our readers to get a sense of what’s going on. We want to take this one step further.
Syndication
Eve News24 opens its door to all EVE Online bloggers, our standards are pretty simple: an usual EN24 article contains at least Five-Hundred (500) words on average and it has to be of a relevant nature to our readers, be funny, easy to read and if needed it should point sources. Most of our readers do not care on the daily coming and goings of bloggers, what they do care about is perspective, reason and food for thought, if you would like to grow big within Eve News24 syndications, the more interesting the piece you write, the greater following you will get.
Syndication also means that if you decide to stop publishing on Eve News24 and have all the articles taken down, that’s no problem as you keep being the sole owner of your syndicated content.
What are we offering back?
We are offering two (2) things, exposure and ISK. Regarding exposure we guarantee your content to be displayed on Eve News24 to our 100,000 readers, this added to your ability to engage readership loyalty will allow you to create a proper following, we are also creating a newsletter with topic-ideas which writers. An obligatory introduction will accompany every article with a link to your blog and your signature will be linked to your twitter account.
Incidentally, you will see an increase in traffic as we don’t syndicate all articles yet its left to our readers to read all the views and pieces you keep on your blog.
ISK wise, we are offering 75mil for every 500+ word article we syndicate, keep in mind that five-hundred word is an average figure and we won’t be nazis enforcing it.
Requirements
The content of your blog must be relevant to a good chunk of the Eve Online players, in Eve News24 we follow the premise of “entertaining and informing” at the same time, develop your own writing style and get some funny jokes on it if you feel like.
We won’t syndicate stories which attack or defame Eve News24 or any of their authors, although doing this won’t disqualify you from getting others stories in.
Always base your intel on verifiable facts, we use eve-kill and Dotlan for most of our research, we recommend citing sources at least once in your articles.
You will be required to create an Eve News24 author account, we’ll take care of the formatting.
Ok, am sold where do I sign up?
Send an email to [email protected], make sure to include the URL information with a small description of your blog’s current interest.

[spoiler show="Did we mess up?"]
We want to give you guys the best possible intel, to post as fast as we can confirm it, but Eve being :Eve: is quite confusing. If we messed up with our intel, please contact us directly [email protected], provide the proof of it and we’ll correct it immediately noting the change and bringing the correction on top of the article list.[/spoiler]

I've thought about blogging my experiences in eve, then I remind myself how it's kinda like work and I doubt anyone would want to read my ramblings.
Come next year I'll have been playing this game for two years now.
Make a blog and share with the community, what have you got to lose? You'd be surprised how many people will read… whatever you put your mind to really. Hell, someone used to read my trashy shit before I went inactive, there's always an audience for your writings. Just depends on whether you want to appeal to close friends, or have a wider appeal.
Yeah, because on the internets, nobody likes reading sarcastic ramblings.
…so, that's exactly what you should do!
CONFRIMIGN I ALSO DO CONSIDERS TO BE BLOG.
ALSO MANY PEEPOL NOT NOWIGN BUT MINE LANGAGE IS UKRAINE, SO NOT MANY DO REEDIGN UKRAINE. ALSO IS VER HARD TO TIME COMSUNIGN FUR ME TO WRIT IN ENGLSH.
ALSO NOT NOWIGN TO MAK FUNNY IN ENGLSH VER MUCH AND MINE WRITTIGN STLYE MAY BE TO NEEDIGN WROK TO. AND NOWIGN DO HAFIGN 100000000 PEEPOL DO REDIGN MINE POAST IS MAK ME VER SCARY.

ALSO NOT NEEDIGN ISK, BUT ALSO MAYBE DO BLOG FUR RMT ? IST THESE POSIBLE?
whats this goat he talks about, I'm lost
Introducing Mintrolio. Says the shit you always wanted to say, in a matter that'd make Yoda proud.
Seriously, despite the "language problems" he makes some pretty good points. Most of the time. The goat, if you really have to ask, is just something you'll have to keep an eye on.
new goat = novyj god = new years eve
You should be paid isk just for commenting.
kiss ass
+1 for Mintrolio to start his own blog.
haha @ including mintchip in the same league as ripard teg.
Even mintrolio is more entertaining than her.
I suspect your English is far better than you would have us believe.
But please, can you figure out how to go to lower case? Please??
I'm wondering if anyone bothers to read those blogs some random guys writing? I tried to read few eve-related blogs and they all look either boring or clueless.
There are plenty of eve-related blogs that have a good deal of information about current events and other aspects of the game that most people don't get really involved in, such as the RP branch and lore from inside W-space.
Does writing comments in evenew24 count as blogging?
LOL, admittedly there are some very insightful readers / commenters i would love to see blogs from.
Fuck Mint Chip, and not cause shes hot, but because shes annoying and says little about anything of actual importance or value
O and i stopped reading this post as soon as i saw the words "MINT CHIP"
And I stopped reading when you said she's hot.
I really Don't know what's wrong with her making short, entertaining newscasts about some important events in EVE other than nobody else does it.
Just please, -please- don't hire Poetic Stanziel.
+100
This seems inticing, I just may have to start jotting Down notes of my adventures in eve.
