On December 14, 2010, the Newsroom was born. Can you guess the top 15 stories of the year?
At 11:30 a.m. on December 14, 2010, the Wright State Newsroom was born.
With little fanfare (except maybe a few high-fives in the Office of Communications and Marketing), the Wright State’s first news-centered website began telling the stories of our faculty, staff and students.
Since then, 501 stories have been posted covering everything from multimillion-dollar research grants to student activities and campus events, even a celebrity endorsement of the university’s arts programs.
Below is a list of the top 15 most popular newsroom stories of the year (by the number of page views). You may be a little surprised to learn which stories captured the most reader attention.
