10 years and 113m page views later...here we are
Good morning folks! It's been 10 years....well, almost! 10 years ago (on Sunday) Armagh I published its first story. 113million page views later and here we are...
It has been quite a journey from inception to now. Writing stories on lunch breaks, in the evening, at ungodly hours of the morning – it was a slog. There were moments where it really wasn't worth it but those were outweighed by the stories we got to – and continue to – tell. Thank you to all of you who read those stories – we want to continue shining that light for many more years to come.
And a massive thank you to everyone who has contributed, big and small – it has always been appreciated and will always be. Thanks also to the team, past and present; a wonderful bunch of people.
At the moment, we're still figuring out how to recognise the 10 years but until then, here's to another 10...(fingers crossed).
Here's what has been making the headlines over the last few days..
