Mission Local’s scoop on the arrest of Nima Momeni on charges of murdering Bob Lee broke news — and nearly broke this site. It racked up more than 1 million page views, and did most of that in a matter of days. For a little while there, our internal analytics trackers resembled the old Comiskey Park exploding scoreboard.
So, that happened. But that’s not all that happened: Mission Local produced a number of highly popular stories — and, thankfully, none of them involved cute animals or lingerie or cute animals in lingerie. Our most-read articles are a pretty good reflection of what we do: breaking stories, on-the-ground reporting and writing with a bit of panache.
We hope you enjoy them (again). Onward to 2024.
When Joe dropped the first story questioning the narrative days into the Bob Lee brouhaha, I couldn’t help but wonder if he had an inside track. When he days later – in the early hours – broke the story of the arrest, I felt that question had been answered.
That’s just a hunch, but I do know it was amazing to see ML expose so many as fools and trolls. Nicely played.
Rosh —
Thank you, sir.
