Turns out, giving people what they actually want — independent local news liberated from agenda and opinion — works.

Over the past 30 days, The St. Johns Citizen surpassed 300,000 page views for the first time in its still-young run on the local media scene.

Add NewsBreak traffic, and we’re nearing half a million monthly views — in a county of just 334,000 people.

Well over half your neighbors are siding with independent, straightforward local news coverage.

We don't pretend everything's perfect, and we don't revel in negativity.

The goal: reach everyone in the county — and beyond — every single month.

Thanks to all who read, share, and support the work.

And a sincere shout out to the local businesses who understand the potency of an allegiance with St. Johns County's most trusted news outlet.

The grind continues.
