Richmondside Launches to Fill Dearth of Coverage


Listen Later

Richmond, Calif. is home to more than 115,000 residents and major corporations and refineries, including Chevron. But like many cities, Richmond had been left without a dedicated daily newspaper or consistent, independent news coverage. Now a new local publication, Richmondside, promises to bring residents more news about government, schools, public safety and local businesses. It’s part of Cityside, a journalism nonprofit that also runs Berkeleyside and Oaklandside. The founders spent about a year hearing from residents about the types of news they were missing. We’ll talk with them about their coverage plans and hear from you: What are the Richmond stories you want to read about?


Guests:


Tasneem Raja, editor-in-chief, The Oaklandside; former interactive editor, Mother Jones


Kari Hulac, editor-in-chief, Richmondside; editor, The Hayward Daily Review; features editor, The Oakland Tribune


Joel Umanzor, city hall reporter, Richmondside
