The Red and Black's February traffic increased by 36% over January, and then by 40% from February to March. It had about 210,000 visits in January and ended March with over 401,000.

Impact isn't always immediate or easily quantified. It can surface quietly in an email from a listener, a shift in public understanding, or a decision made differently because someone finally has the information they need.
