ANALYTICS 
As of early June, we have removed from our counts all visits to our site that didn’t result in meaningful engagement with the content. While total visits to our site continue to grow (over 105,000 in June), only about a third resulted in meaningful engagement, such as opening an article or clicking a menu. The other visits are likely bot traffic. From now on, we’ll only tally meaningful engagement. Numbers in parentheses indicate change from the previous week.
