2015 marked the inception of Rhode Island News, a beacon for factual and comprehensive coverage of events within the Ocean State. Our journey began with a clear vision: to fill the information void that left many Rhode Islanders in the dark about the news that shaped their community. Founded on principles of unbiased reporting and accuracy, we aimed to deliver a reliable source of information for residents and enthusiasts alike.
Our founding story is one of passion and dedication. A group of seasoned journalists and tech enthusiasts recognized the gap in local news coverage and set out to create a platform that would not only inform but also engage the community. Over the years, Rhode Island News has become a trusted name, celebrated for its detailed reporting and commitment to the truth.
In our first year alone, we reported on several significant events, including local government decisions, educational reforms, and economic developments, setting a precedent for the high-quality content that would follow. Each year since, we’ve expanded our reach and deepened our coverage, earning accolades from readers and industry peers alike.
Our purpose is to serve as Rhode Island’s premier news outlet, providing residents with timely, accurate, and relevant information. We adhere to core values such as integrity, accountability, and community service, which guide our journalistic practices and editorial choices. Our mission is to inform the public, foster a well-informed citizenry, and hold those in power accountable through diligent reporting.
The impetus for creating Rhode Island News was the glaring absence of comprehensive local news coverage. We recognized that residents were underserved by existing outlets, which often prioritized national stories over local ones. Our commitment to filling this gap has led to a robust archive of articles covering everything from state politics to cultural events, ensuring that our readers have access to a wide array of information.

We deliver our services by maintaining a robust network of contributors who provide insights into various aspects of Rhode Island life. Our revenue is generated through advertising from local businesses, sponsored content that aligns with our editorial standards, and reader donations, which help us maintain our commitment to unbiased journalism.
