INSIDE THE TYEE

Top stories of 2018

“The Tyee doesn’t leap for link bait. Still, we’re quite interested in which stories our readers find most nourishing. There’s more than one way to measure it. Six, this year, in fact:

“Which drew the most comments? Which did readers email the most to others? Which caused the most social media buzz? Which did readers linger over the longest and which did they most print out on old fashioned paper? And, of course, which drew the most visits?

Here are the results for 2018.” — Bryan Carney
