Home News: Thanks, Anderson

July was the best traffic month for the Dish since September and October 2008, a quarter of the pageviews due to publishing an email sent to me by an old friend. 3.5 million individual people logged onto this page at some point, for a total of close to 11 million pageviews. 20 percent of our traffic came from Facebook and social media. Welcome to all the newbies; big thanks to the loyalty of long-time Dishheads. This never gets old for me. Every now and again as an alumn of old media, I have to pinch myself when I realize that last month, the eyeball readership of the Dish was 35 times the circulation of The New Republic when I edited it in the 1990s. We get so used to this revolution it's sometimes useful to take a deep breath and see just how far we've come.
