...continued from TOP 10: The Best of 2024...
You’d think it would be easy to put together a ranked list of the most-read stories we published in 2024. It wasn’t. The administrative back-end to this site provides us with a wealth of data and traffic metrics, but sometimes the results it reports are contradictory.
We’re pretty confident of yesterday’s Top 10 list: the readership stats and rankings for the top stories we published last year are pretty clear, and those ten stories always come out on the top of the heap, no matter which report we run.
The further we delve into the site metrics, though, the murkier and more contradictory the data becomes, and the more the idea of assigning rankings to stories begins to seem arbitrary. Therefore, today we present the five stories that almost made it onto the Top 10 list, with relative rankings in which we have a pretty high degree of confidence.
#11. “Chasing the Moon,” by Karin Terebessy
#12. “Broken,” by Karin Terebessy
#13. “Must Have Been Moonglow,” by Jeanne Van Slyke
#14. “The Big Bad,” by Richard J. Dowling
