About Us: Welcome to Thatcher
Our Journey
Thatcher was founded in 2017 with a vision to bridge the information gap in the digital age. It all started as a passion project for a group of technology enthusiasts who identified a growing need for reliable and unbiased news sources. We believed that in an era where information is abundant, there was a critical lack of quality content focusing on local communities and specific interests.
Over the years, Thatcher has evolved from a small online platform to a thriving news hub. Our journey has been marked by several significant milestones:
- 2017: Launch of Thatcher as a beta version, catering to the city of Boston with localized news coverage.
- 2018: Expanded our reach to include national and international stories, attracting a diverse audience.
- 2019: Achieved one million monthly unique visitors, solidifying our position as a trusted news source.
- 2020: Introduced interactive features and user-generated content, fostering a sense of community among readers.
- 2021: Celebrated five years of successful operations with a complete website redesign, enhancing user experience.
- 2022: Collaborated with local businesses and organizations, promoting community engagement through sponsored content.
