787 Daily published 135 stories this week, up 8 from the 127 the week before, with Saturday, Sep 5 the busiest day at 35 stories. El Nuevo Día and Primera Hora again drove most of the coverage, and community topped the topic count by a wide margin, well ahead of culture and infrastructure. San Juan was the most-mentioned municipio, with Cidra also drawing repeated coverage.
The week’s top-rated stories skewed toward big infrastructure and culture milestones, including “Puerto Rico Nears Coast-to-Coast Broadband Internet Goal” and “Residente Begins Filming ‘Porto Rico,’ Starring Bad Bunny,” both from El Nuevo Día. Our own desks stayed busy too, with 12 pieces across recurring series like Daily Water Watch and Act 60 Watch tracking ongoing local conditions.
