2023 was another unprecedented year \u2014 from a former US president being criminally indicted to a Speaker of the House of Representatives being removed \u2014 both for the first time the country\u2019s nearly 250-year history. <\/p>\n
Beyond politics, the US and Canada witnessed a suspected Chinese spy balloon float across North America; the world watched, listened and waited for any sign from the ill-fated Titan submersible on its voyage to the Titanic wreckage site; and every nation lived through increasingly extraordinary weather related to global climate change. <\/p>\n
By our count, our top story of the year had almost 18 million readers \u2014 the news of the terrifying collapse of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin\u00a0on January 2 and its aftermath. <\/p>\n
As you can imagine, the war in Israel and Gaza \u2014 and the historic terror attacks that spawned it \u2014 dominated the list this year. And, tragically, there were too many mass shootings in America to remember. <\/p>\n
But I was also surprised at how many off-beat stories made our list too \u2014 reminding us how much you need stories that not only inform, enlighten and explain, but delight, too. <\/p>\n
As 2024 promises to be potentially even more unprecedented than 2023, we promise to deliver the essential news to keep you informed, the explanatory analysis to help you understand what the news means and the compelling stories to help you engage with the world, in its myriad moods and colors. <\/p>\n
