We’re about to say goodbye to 2018 and hello to a brand new year.
And as we do this time every year, we’re getting ready to take a look back at the biggest stories of the year based on the number of views each story received on our website.
From covering floods (it’s the rainiest year on record in Washington, D.C.), new toll lanes coming to Interstate 66, business expansions like Micron (Virginia’s largest economic deal ever) and Amazon, or the debate over how to best develop the last remaining rural pieces of property in our community, it’s been a busy year for local news.
This year also marked a change for us at Potomac Local, too.
- We listened to you and made an improved email newsletter that delivers local news you where you are.
We hired a team of new reporters in an effort to expand the types of stories we cover, to deliver more trusted local news that matters to you. - We invested more than $6,000 in a new website (a big investment for a small company like ours).
- And we launched a new premium subscription tier of content and now have more than 400 paying subscribers.
In the era of “fake news,” Potomac Local plays a vital role in strengthening the local news ecosystem by providing reporting on the local issues that impact us here at home. It’s what our subscribers trust us, and pay us to do.
In turn, a better-informed community is a stronger community. And our subscribers make Potomac Local stronger.
Right now, as of this writing, 20 more people can take advantage of a special offer to save 30% on an annual subscription to Potomac Local by using the coupon code STRONGER.
This offer, which started out at 30 coupons at the beginning of the month, ends Dec. 31, 2018, or whenever the remaining 20 coupons are claimed, whichever comes first.
We value your support and look forward to serving you as a paying subscriber in the coming year.
