| 2012 – An Incredible Year! Dear faithful supporters of life and family, We are excited to announce the launch of our 2012 Christmas campaign with a dramatic, full-production short film that visually represents the importance of our mission. It is definitely worth the 4 minutes to watch. (For the most enjoyable experience, view the full-screen version at maximum resolution).
We are extremely grateful to the 25+ generous individuals from the pro-life community in Front Royal, Virginia who volunteered to act in the film. None of them are professional actors, but you wouldn’t know that watching the video. They all did such an incredible job! Thanks also to Mirandum Pictures for producing such a beautiful, top-quality video at a price that we could afford.
This year we have set our goal, as mentioned Monday, at a very necessary bare minimum of $150,000, to keep our mission operating through at least the first quarter of 2013.
With your help, we have accomplished more this year than ever before and are continually expanding our reach. 2012 in review:
- Our readership has increased across the board. We have increased roughly 150% in page-views to 28,000,000 in the past 12 months!
- The total number of unique visitors has increased by over 250%
- We’ve added a social media coordinator to our staff to manage our 200,000+ FB followers and to better engage with our growing social media presence.
- We’ve hired full and part-time journalists in California, Michigan, Washington D.C., and Australia to better serve an increasing demand for our reporting.
- We are getting requests from Russia, Serbia, Latin America and other nations to start regional LifeSiteNews websites in their languages.
And there are some incredible new developments in store for 2013. But we really need your help this Christmas to maintain the professional quality of our service and grow our accomplishments this next year. As long as our support increases in tandem with the demands of our growing readership and requests for news reports, we will be able to handle the growing demand. LifeSiteNews readership has been growing so quickly because, with your help, we have been on the cutting-edge of some of the biggest stories of the past year and have been more effectively reaching greater numbers of people. Throughout the year, LifeSiteNews worked diligently, striving to go the extra mile in providing you in-depth, timely, and often uniquely well-researched coverage of important breaking stories. This Christmas, I hope you will see the great efforts and gains we have made for you in the past year and that you can pledge your support for 2013.
LifeSiteNews readers are the heart and soul of the work we do. We promise to again work tirelessly for life and family in 2013. With your help we will influence more events for good than in 2012! For life and family,
 
Steve Jalsevac
