Richmondside’s free weekly email newsletter, the Richmondside Report, is going daily. Starting on Oct. 20, it will land in subscribers’ inboxes every weekday morning, not just on Thursdays. 

We hear regularly from readers grateful for our independent nonprofit local journalism and eager to see more reporting. A year ago, we had only one full-time reporter and 2,000 newsletter subscribers. Today, we have two reporters and more than 5,100 subscribers. We’re growing. We’re reporting more news and we want to make sure you’re receiving that news, every day.

Subscribe to the Richmondside Report

You can now start your mornings getting caught up on the latest Richmond news. Richmondside publishes stories every weekday — from city and school news to features about food, the environment and local business. A daily newsletter ensures you’ll never miss a headline. We’ll also highlight timely information about upcoming city meetings and community events to help you plan your week.

Existing Richmondside Report subscribers will automatically receive the daily newsletter. If you’re not yet a subscriber, you can sign up now (we make unsubscribing easy, too, if the newsletter’s not your cup of tea).

Richmondside, an independent nonprofit newsroom from the Cityside Journalism Initiative, launched in June 2024 to give people who live and work in Richmond the local reporting they told us they wanted to see. All our reporting is free to access, and we rely on readers who find it valuable to support the work with tax-deductible donations.

Kari Hulac is the Editor-in-Chief of Richmondside.

What I cover: As Editor-in-Chief, I oversee all of Richmondside's journalism.

My background: A Bay Area resident for most of my life, and an East Bay reporter and editor for 15 years, I have worn many hats in a journalism career spanning 25+ years. I held several editorial leadership positions at the Bay Area News Group between 1997 and 2010, including editor of The (Hayward) Daily Review and features editor of The Oakland Tribune. I was a senior editor and assistant West Coast Editorial Director at local online news network Patch, and in 2015 was a part-time breaking news editor at Bay City News.

I started my career as an education reporter in Corvallis, Ore., and I still love writing feature stories today. When I'm not leading the newsroom, you might find me swimming in the bay, hiking the East Bay hills or headed out for a camping trip.
