November 2013 was a record breaking month for Inforrm. We had the highest number of posts in a single month (81) and a record 70,000 page views. We are rapidly approaching 2,000,000 page views since we began blogging in 2010.
During November we also reached our 2,000th post and the number of our subscribers (on WordPress and Twitter) passed 3,000. We would like to thank all our readers and contributors for their support.
The most read posts covered a wide range – from social media, through domestic and Strasbourg case law, to media regulation. Although our readers are interesting in the phone hacking trial, they are interested in a lot more as well. Martin Hickman’s daily reports from the Old Bailey attracted a considerable number of readers only one of them made it into the top ten.
The ten most popular posts of the month were, in descending order:
