As the month is wrapped up, we look at the past five issues of Reader's Corner, including this one, to determine the demographics of our top 10 most read list on Dailysabah.com. We started this new implementation in September to gauge the interest of our readers and how that interest varies throughout the categories following a change we made by implementing sub categories on the list. Without further ado, let's get to the heart of the matter.This month, it seems Politics continued its reign as the most read category on the top 10 list thanks to the efforts of our web team and Printed Edition Editor Mehmet Çelik with a total of 20 entries. In other words, almost half of the 50 entries belonged in the Politics category, an impressive achievement. If we look at sub categories, we see that War on Terror-related news articles drew great interest with 10 entries. The Diplomacy sub category had five, while the remaining five were without a sub header.Coming up second is National news with eight entries. Only one sub category made its appearance in this regard: Istanbul with three entries. The remaining five were only categorized as Turkey.Both third and fourth categories had the same number of entries and they came up third by a very small margin. Business and Life both had seven entries. While Life had two sub categories, five of them belonging to History and two were Feature, the Business sub categories were more varied. Energy had two entries while Tourism and Defense both had one. The remaining three were only classified as Business news articles. World or International as in the printed version had four entries that were very evenly distributed among its sub categories. Europe, Mideast, Americas and Syrian Crisis all had one entry each.This month, there were three column entries in the top 10, and two of them were articles by İbrahim Kalın, while the remaining one belonged to Yahya Bostan.Finally, the remaining entry was from the Arts category, and it had the Cinema sub category.This month was decidedly more varied than September in terms of both main and sub categories, and it shows the competence of our entire staff when it comes to capturing our reader's attention. Considering the number of news items on the website is quite varied when it comes to categories, the number of entries is irrelevant compared to the importance of diversity in these statistics. Especially if these entries are proportionate to that number. As we look forward to the end of November, we will also analyze general reader behavior as we will have more data to draw from, and we will include the entire Fall season for this purpose.

Correction

Last week, we made a correction with the title "Bloopers aren't bloopers when it comes to fact-checking." The correction was about a mistake in the Daily Sabah news article titled "First major Quran exhibition in US set to open". In this correction, we also wrote that the mistake had originated from Anadolu Agency (AA). After the initial correction was made, Kübra Arıkan from Anadolu Agency Corporate Communication Department contacted us on this matter to say that the mistake had not originated from their article. After viewing at both cases, it seems that while the AA article contained ambiguity, in Daily Sabah's version this ambiguity was enhanced to a mistake. So let this serve as a correction for our previous remark saying that the mistake was originated from the AA article and they persisted on their mistake. It also appears that AA later cleared up the ambiguity in their article. The remaining parts of our Reader's Corner article had valid points and was corrected accordingly on the Daily Sabah website.
