Analysis / Bias
RichmondSide publishes original news reporting on news and events in Richmond, CA. Coverage focuses on politics, policy, and local news coverage for the Richmond area. Articles and headlines use minimally biased wording such as this: Richmond won’t poll voters about bond to fix city buildings. They properly source, linking to credible sources such as local media outlets and government sites.
Editorially, they do not produce opinion content; however, they report on politics with a left-leaning perspective, like this New MLK Jr.-inspired mural reminds King Elementary students to pursue their dreams. RichmondSide generally reports news factually; however, story selection moderately favors the left.
