This is the Bronx News Network’s 2,000th blog post. (Waiting for applause.)
Just to give you an idea of how we’ve grown over the last few years, consider this. In 2006, we posted just 32 times. The next year, 2007, we made a quantum leap to 329 posts. The following year, 2008, we ramped up our efforts again to the tune of 510 posts.
Then last year, we really hit our stride. Fueled by competitive Bronx Council races and the debate about development at the Kingsbridge Armory (which turned into one of the biggest stories in the city last December), we topped out at 877 posts. The Village Voice recognized us as one of the best blogs in a city teeming with them.
We’ve done this while continuing to produce quality, award-winning print journalism in all of our affiliated and associated papers. Sometimes, with all of our other responsibilities, it’s difficult to maintain a steady flow of stories and information in this space.
But, in the end, we believe in what we’re doing here and we’ve received a tremendous amount of feedback and support from all of you out there who read the blog and make it a part of your daily life. We want to thank you and encourage you to continue reading and commenting as we strive to create a dialogue about vital issues in the Bronx and beyond.
We would also like to hear from you about how we can make this site better, more enjoyable and more informative. What issues should we focus on? What kind of weekly or daily features would you like to see? What don’t you like about the site or our blog posts? Do you want more photos slide shows or more multimedia? We want to hear from you.
This is your blog as much as ours. (Applause from us.)
Stay tuned and come celebrate with us at the Bronx Ale House on Feb. 25. More details to come. Read more..
