Marin Post
Happy Birthday! The Marin Post is one year old today!
The Marin Post is one year old today!
THANK YOU!
June 1 of 2015 marked the launch of the first and only community journalist news magazine in the San Francisco Bay Area. No paid staff. No paid professional writers. A free online, publishing platform open to anyone wishing to write about issues of community concern.
The Marin Post has operated solely on donations and without a single penny spent on advertising or marketing.
After several months working out the bugs, in the beginning, our readership began to grow and is now rising steadily every week.
In just one short year, the Marin Post attracted 16,416 unique individual readers, 85 percent of whom live in Marin County. We have served up 77,910 page views and the time spent daily, by readers of the Marin Post, continues to rise.
I WANT TO THANK OUR LOYAL READERS for their support and the constant flow of timely feedback and news tips they provide.
I WANT TO THANK OUR WRITERS and everyone who has taken the time and effort to write blogs, post notices and news and media, and write letters to the community. Without you and the quality content you provide, we could not have accomplished anything that we have.
As we move into our second year, I want to invite all of you who have a great story to tell, or important community news to share, or something that's just burning inside that you want others to know about, to become contributors to the Marin Post.
Please know that we are committed to continue to provide this unique, free publishing opportunity to our community, and to work constantly to improve its features and publishing tools.
