I remember the first big spike in traffic we received at the online publication I edited at the time.

Something journalists have in mind when we’re editing newspapers, magazines or online news sites – apart from reporting the news – is readership. That’s why headlines, for example, not only tell the story but often do so in an intriguing, thought-provoking way.
It’s also why some stories are chosen over others: they’ll be more interesting to readers.
