Richmond Confidential: Year Three
on September 5, 2011
Today marks the beginning of Richmond Confidential’s third year. Every fall, first-year graduate students at Berkeley take up the challenge and privilege of reporting the news, and telling the stories of Richmond. Sixteen full time reporters will be covering business, health, politics, education, crime, culture, sports and environment, seven days a week. You’ll probably be hearing from them, very soon. Our students come from California, New Jersey, Arizona, Ohio, Mississippi, China and Kashmir. Please help them to understand what’s happening around them as they begin their work.
Your news tips, comments, both on the site and on our Facebook page, are vital to the success of the site. Be a part of it. Help us make the site more valuable and useful to you and your neighbors. Richmond Confidential works best when it creates a public conversation in which you all take part.
