Merry Christmas! As we celebrate the holiday season, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for the incredible work you’ve accomplished this year. Together, we have made a significant impact in our communities through our online news sites in 2024. Saga Communications now proudly operates seventeen online news sites, with plans to launch a few more in 2025. As we look to the year ahead, our focus will be on growing revenue and enhancing user engagement on these platforms.
