GCN’s 10 Most Popular Stories of 2015

Ever wonder what Glendora residents are interested in reading the most? Our news covers a variety of different areas of the community, including fundraising, volunteer programs, events of all types, politics, weather, crime and tragic events among others.

In 2015, Glendora City News had almost 1 million visitors. While crime stories often received 7,000-20,000 readers, uplifting and positive stories struggled to garner any attention. Stories such as Glendora naming September ‘Childhood Cancer Awareness Month’, our wonderful teachers receiving a well overdue pay increase and a call to help our City of Hope Gift Card Drive typically had less than 1,000 readers.

Here is the top 10 most read articles from 2015, in order of how many people visited the website to read the article. The majority of our stories are not crime related but you wouldn’t know that from seeing the most popular stories.
