To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
— Winston Churchill
We don’t profess perfection at the Richmond News — but we’re not afraid to try for it. To that end, look for a very different paper in two weeks time.
As of April 9, the Richmond News will be a bigger, bolder weekly publication, hitting the streets and doorsteps every Thursday. We will offer readers more colour, more controversy, more behind-the-news stories.
Over the years, the News has distinguished itself as the local leader in investigative reporting, in-depth analysis and colourful features. Be it election coverage or the Chinese-only sign issue, we have consistently told provocative stories from fresh angles. We will take that drive even further with new columnists, off-beat articles and a strong, creative design.
What else to look for:
* A new Neighbourhoods section to give you the news on the street — your street — and reflect the voices of you and your neighbours.
* An expanded Letters section.
* A new Family Album — a page dedicated to the family wedding, birthday and graduation photos you send in.
* A Sports section featuring the stories behind the scores.
* Along with our recently launched Business page that highlights the minds and imagination behind our local economy, we will launch SweetHome, a feature that will take you on a virtual tour of living spaces, telling the stories of real people and how they’ve made their house a home.
* Finally, we will be strengthening our Arts&Life, Food&Wine and Health&Wellness sections.
This is an exciting time at the News. Diversity is the stuff of life, and we have the team to bring you something unique and engaging, something that will fulfill what has always been our goal at the News, which is to spark conversation and create community.
