Description
RVANews is a collective of Richmond area blogs, news, and all things awesome. We’re here to make your Internet perusal as convenient and River-City-Centric as possible. Because, well, we love Richmond and we think you should too.
RVANews is made up of two pieces: original and aggregated content.
Original content is just that: content written by some well-paid freelance joker or one of our fabulous columnists. The aggregated content is provided by Richmond’s fantastic network of community blogs.
Scattered throughout Richmond’s neighborhoods are a dozen or so hyperlocal community blogs. These blogs (Church Hill People’s News for example) provide immediate and insightful coverage of events that matter to the neighborhood. If you aggregate these together you get a good picture of what is going on in Richmond.
