The Inforrm blog yesterday reached three million hits – nearly 5½ years after our launch. Once again, we would like to thank all our readers and the many people who have contributed to the success of the blog over this period and particularly the large number of people who have written for us over the past 5 years.
We reached 500,000 hits in June 2011, one million hits in May 2012 and two million hits in March 2014. We have now had over 3,100 posts on the blog (searchable from our front page). The blog has over a 1,500 followers (who receive emails of each new post) and our Twitter feed (retweeting links to new media and law stories) has over 2,800 followers. Follow us @inforrm

Finally, to repeat a point we have made many times since our launch – one of the main purposes of the Inforrm blog is to provide a forum for serious debate on media and legal issues and we repeat our invitation to anyone who is interested in a guest post (or repost) on any of the topics which we cover. Subject to the usual rules of lawfulness, decency and the avoidance of gratuitous personal attacks we accept contributions on media and legal topics from all points of view. Please let us have any suggestions by email at inforrmeditorial@gmail.com.
