The last printed copy of the Richmond News was published on Nov. 30 and the Richmond News is now available digital only via Richmond-News.com.
While it is difficult to say goodbye through a print newspaper, we want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our readers, advertisers and newspaper carriers who have supported us throughout these years.
We know it requires time to adjust and no one likes change, but this change is inevitable to continue to do what we need to do, that is, to report local news in the community.
To our respected seniors, we have heard your challenges where you have no access to the internet, computers or mobile devices.
We have tried and worked our best to extend our printed newspaper but with the increasing operational cost and declining print advertising revenue, the economics is not there for us to continue.
As for our digital journey, we started our website more than 20 years ago.
Our ongoing effort to improve the digital newspaper experience is our priority.
For example, this year we have invested in six weather sensors in Richmond to provide hyper-local weather information via our Weatherhood channel.
Also, we have implemented technology so that every story we publish online can be listened to by simply pressing a play button.
Yes, we are a talking newspaper.
We expect more to come but for now, simply connect with us through our daily headline newsletter because that’s where you’ll continue to find local news.
Telling the stories of Richmond is more important than ever.
We live in a growing and multicultural community where we work, play and live.
Thank you for reading!
