Welcome to New Year’s Eve and as we are ready to ring in 2019, it’s time to look back upon 2018.
As many of you know, who have followed The Times-Tribune this year, much of what I do know includes a video story. It’s a new way to tell the stories of our athletes and coaches in Northeast Pennsylvania.
So, here are the Top 10 video stories I produced based on data from Facebook.
