In this quarter’s installment of the Public Insight Network newsletter, we look at recent trends in source growth, query and email activity, and PIN-informed content.

We highlight examples of the variety of content that PIN partners have produced between June and September and the impact of their coverage. You can see (and download) the full content of the newsletter by scrolling through the file embedded in this post (at left).

Across the PIN community, the top queries (by number of responses) were:
