EDITORIAL: News website tipperarylive.ie on course for 20m pageviews in 2023

With the New Year almost upon us it seems like the perfect opportunity to thank all our loyal readers for continuing to make The Nationalist, Tipperary Star and tipperarylive.ie part of your weekly lives.

We have endeavoured, over the last twelve months, to bring you the best local coverage we can, ranging from community news, politics, local authority projects and issues, obituaries, sport and of course, covering the topics and local concerns that matter to you - all of which help to inform our readers every week in Tipperary.

Our team in Clonmel and Thurles has tried to reflect life in the Premier County through our many pages and we hope that we have achieved this by brightening up your outlook.

Images and words are the tools of the newspaper trade and we thank all those who submitted notes, news, stories and of course photos to our newspaper for publication. Without your input, the local paper could not exist.

We especially thank our loyal team of photographers whose outstanding work is featured in our pages each and every week.

To those behind the lens, take a well-deserved bow.

Our website tipperarylive.ie - a joint website powered by The Nationalist and Tipperary Star - has become the biggest player in the online market.

We have seen huge growth over the last 12 months and are on course to achieve an incredible 20m pageviews for 2023 - up from 13.5m pageviews in 2022.

Our company Iconic Media is now the largest local media group in the country and has the biggest online footprint of any publisher.

This is an incredible achievement and reflects the continuing move towards the digital era in Tipperary and across the country for all our titles.

Our determination is to continue bringing the biggest and best local coverage to our readers - in print and online. But, we cannot do it without you. We look forward to your continued support throughout 2024.

Happy New Year to all our loyal readers.
