RenewEconomy is taking a break, with 5.2 million reasons to smile

Published by

RenewEconomy is taking a break over the holiday season.

The website and social media will be updated on an ad hoc basis over the next few weeks, but the regular newsletters will not resume until mid January.

We’d like to thank all our readers for your interest throughout the year, and those who contributed through the comments pages, and who have provided us with direct feedback during the year.

Our daily newsletter now goes out to 13,000 people – still with an excellent open rate of nearly 40 per cent – and 2.1 million people visited the site at some stage during the year, looking at some of the 2,100 stories we published. There were more than 5.2 million page views.

We’d also like to thank our supporters and partners, particularly our advertisers and those who kindly donated.

We wish you all the best for the season and a great 2017. It’s going to be another fascinating year.

Many, many thanks

The RenewEconomy team.
