Chester Telegraph reaches new readership high
A Page View represents one reader accessing one page at The Chester Telegraph.
Publisher Cynthia Prairie said she was stunned by the rise. “In 2016, I was thrilled that we hit more than 362,000 Page Views, a 31.31 percent increase from 2015. At the time, I thought we’d see a natural leveling of readership. Instead, by mid-December we hit the 500,000 mark.”
When asked to attribute the rise, Prairie said, “There is no doubt that more people are looking for their news online. But it isn’t just enough to have an online presence. Our readers know us. We are in and of the communities that we report on. I believe they trust our quality journalism and our timely reporting.”
