If there’s one thing this year has made abundantly clear, it’s this: our readers are showing up, speaking up, and staying engaged. As of mid-2025, The Lintonian has already surpassed its total web traffic from each of the previous three years — 2022, 2023, and 2024. That’s not a small bump. That’s a clear, resounding vote of confidence in what we’re building together.
With nearly a quarter-million views and counting already this year, we’re pacing to blow well past a half-million views by year-end, especially with fall coverage, school events, and winter weather still ahead. This surge in readership is a new chapter in local storytelling and independent journalism.
We don’t take this lightly. Every view represents your time, your attention, and your trust. And whether you read to stay informed, stay skeptical, or just stay amused — we’re grateful you’re here!
So, thank you; for reading, for sharing, for caring.
And stay tuned. We’re only just getting warmed up.
