In the second half of 2018, Rita Payne’s Brexit and the British Media continued to be one of the most-read articles on the Round Table website. It was followed closely in the last six months of the year by a 2016 article on Diaspora, Development and the Indian State by Amit Kumar Mishra.
June saw a spike in readers turning to the Round Table tributes to Editorial Board member Derek Ingram who died on 17 June at the age of 92. Board member Richard Bourne, a close friend of Derek’s, wrote: “He symbolised the best in Commonwealth journalism. He died peacefully. A tall tree has fallen in the forest”.
David Perfect’s 2017 article on The Gambia’s return to the Commonwealth had a surge of readers in November of 2018.
At the end of the year, readers turned to an article on Malawi: The Human Hyenas which had appeared in the regular Commonwealth Update range of articles, written by Update Editor Oren Gruenbaum.
