Hirosaki Keizai Shimbun's first half PV (page view) ranking was ranked first in the list of sightings of white crows in Aomori and Ikariseki, which was a hot topic among local residents.

"White crows" were spotted around the roadside station "Ikarigaseki" (Igarigaseki Ikariishi, Hirakawa City, Aomori Prefecture), and they acted with black crows, and because there are two crows, not only the local but also the key stations in Tokyo are nationwide. It became a hot topic. The articles were spread mainly on Twitter, and there were reactions such as “Hadadabe” and “Inya crow”.

The "Lawson Hirosaki Katata 2-chome Store" (Katata, Hirosaki City) introduced in the article in the second place features a "covered parking lot", and the pillars of the roof light up at night. On the internet, he received a lot of attention, saying "Kanran" and "I saw it three times without thinking."

The 3rd place "Blue Impulse" flew on display at the opening ceremony of the "Hirosaki Sakura Festival," which celebrated its 100th anniversary this year. The article introduces information that announced the first flight in the Tsugaru area. On the day of the opening ceremony, it was blessed with fine weather, and all 10 types of exhibition flight subjects were held, attracting visitors.

The ranking is an aggregate of the PV of Headline News distributed from January 1st to June 30th of this year. The top 10 articles are as follows (postings in parentheses).
