BLOG STATUS

Main Street, Cortland, N. Y., circa 1900.

April 5, 2026.

The Cortland Contrarian has been truly an international blog for a number of years. With the help of Google Search we are visible worldwide. Our statistics, excluding spam, show more than one thousand hits daily. We are proud of our success. Our readership includes, besides the United States, such countries as Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, England, Germany, India, Russia, China, Singapore, France and others. Cortland is only a small dot on a global map but it seems to be recognized worldwide. The study of old newspaper articles, we believe, is interesting, instructive and fun. It is especially true when it contains international news as well as local and regional news. We thank our readers for their interest in our work.
