The whole point of our Inside the Reporter’s Notebook features — both the DoD version you’re reading now and the more expansive and governmentwide edition curated by my esteemed colleague Jason Miller — is to highlight news tidbits that might not otherwise appear on our homepage or be covered in any media.

We started the “notebook” feature as a way to compile odds and ends of news that would otherwise slip through the cracks in our daily coverage of any given week’s events, and it’s been interesting and gratifying to see how much attention the notebook has gotten.

Many of this year’s items came directly from the readers and listeners who work and live in the areas we cover ever day. Thanks to all of you, and please continue your contributions via email to me and to Jason.

Here are the 10 DoD Reporter’s Notebook postings that garnered the most interest among our readers during 2015, as measured by how many people clicked on a given “notebook” posting on our website or via our email subscription service:
