Top Stories of
the Year
One of the top
stories of the year: Darke County’s Most Wanted is Back
County News Online went “live” on Jan. 10, 2011, nearly one year ago.
Since then its traffic has gone from a little over 7,000 page views the
first month to about 60,000 page views per month. In our first year,
traffic has exceeded 350,000 page views.
We appreciate the phenomenal support we have gotten from our online
community. Thanks for a great first year.
We also owe a debt of thanks to the sponsors who have helped cover
expenses and provide scholarships to Darke County teens heading into a
communications related field. To date, they have generated $5,000 in
scholarship funds for the Senior Scribes Scholarship Committee to
present to deserving students.
The top “hallmarks” of CNO’s first year occurred recently with the
sports coverage brought to readers by George Starks’ “small army” in
August, and the addition of Greenville High School IMTV’s Digital
Waves. Prior to that, we offered arguably the most complete coverage of
the Eagles Independence Day Celebration, Annie Oakley Days and the
Great Darke County Fair available anywhere. County News Online owes
thanks to the many volunteers who made this possible.
