In 2013 we launched the Arizona Progress & Gazette as a way to provide a new venue for local opinions in an age of shrinking media. We never sought to be the biggest, just an interesting place for debate and opinion. We envisioned it as a place for influencers to do their thing, make an impact and be judged. Back in the day we were lucky to have several hundred users a month. Since then we have been working hard to provide topical and entertaining articles and editorials while also keeping readers up to date on important local issues.
Last month we reached 12,000 unique users for the first time. It is our highest unique user count to date, but it won’t be our last peak. And we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for spending part of your day with us.
Over the past six months a combination of politics and pandemic, combined with added efforts to expand content, led to a significant uptick in readers. Thank you.
If you are a longtime reader, thanks for the support and the best is yet to come. If you are new reader; we will work our tails off to keep you around.
And if you have any suggestions or submissions email us at stayabreastaz@gmail.com. We are always open to new opinions and writers whether we agree with you or not.
We hope our commitment to interesting insight will help us reach more milestones in the future. In the meantime never stop reading or supporting our larger friends in local journalism. They are the eyes and ears of the community and a critical part of its heartbeat.
Smart Opinions. Mostly Right. That’s our slogan. But it’s ultimately for you to decide. We’re grateful that an increasing number are.
