New Jersey Stage has run feature articles on more than 300 artists in this magazine alone and published our 17,000th article online earlier in July I’m proud to say that New Jersey Stage has run feature articles on more than 300 artists in this magazine alone and published our 17,000th article online earlier in July. While we do not shy away from covering major artists (we’ve done pieces on Grammy winners, Tony Award winners, members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, legends of the Garden State and beyond, etc.) we have worked hard to cover lesser known artists and even those just starting out. For us it’s always been about the story. If we believe it’s a good story, we’ll cover it and give it exposure. Speaking of exposure, our website stats are starting to jump in a big way and we are on pace for 500,000 unique visitors in 2019 with a goal of reaching one million in 2020. So here’s a look back at our first five years of the magazine. We’ll of- fer brief highlights of each year along with a slideshow of the maga- zine covers. Each issue is still available online and we hope you’ll take a look at any issues you may not have seen. Thanks, as always, for read- ing New Jersey Stage. -- Gary Wien, publisher NJ STAGE - ISSUE 61 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 65
