Celebrate a Dozen Years of Gossips

Today marks the twelfth anniversary of The Gossips of Rivertown!

On January 20, 2010, Gossips published its very first post. Twelve years and 11,484 posts later, Gossips has gained a reputation for being a reliable source of local news, information, and history and has earned the respect of many and the disdain of a few. In the past year, readers have turned to Gossips 1.36 million times. The ability to search twelve years of posts makes Gossips a storehouse of institutional memory. So today, as I do every year on Gossips' anniversary, I humbly acknowledge all the readers who have made Gossips a success and offer my deep and sincere gratitude to the Gossips supporters and advertisers whose monetary contributions help pay the bills and continue to make Gossips a joyful endeavor.

Today, I invite readers to celebrate twelve years of sharing news, history, and occasional gossip about the events, machinations, troubles, and triumphs that happen right here in our little river city by joining the folks who have already shown support for The Gossips of Rivertown in 2022. For those who read Gossips on a computer, the process is easy. Just click on the "Donate" button near the top of the right column. For those who read Gossips on their phones, the process is more complicated. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and touch "View web version." Then find the "Donate" button in the right column.

Your support--in any amount--will be gratefully acknowledged and will ensure the continuation of Gossips for yet another year.

    Amazing that you've been doing this for 12 years. More amazing is that you've essentially become the paper of record for Hudson with a tiny budget and no employees or promotions. The Reg-Star has all the resources you don't, but it's Gossips I read each and every morning. Thanks for all you've done, Carole.

    Carole,
    Your reportage is absolutely indispensable. Whenever I have a new client moving to town or a new neighbor, I always tell them that Gossips is the must-read journal of Hudson. Your doggedness and dedication are second to none. No “reporter” in town goes to as many meetings or breaks them down with the detail and expertise that flow naturally. Thank you indeed for all you do.
