The independent editorials are an important part of the magazine, often highlighting local activities, places or events. Most of the features are written by the editor, an experienced journalist and copywriter, with others being written by local contributors. For instance, the regular Local Landmarks feature – highlighting local places of historic interest - is written by John Moses, chairman of the Museum of Richmond; while Dan Jones, chief executive of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, highlights Chamber events each issue.
Articles relating to local issues or events are welcomed and printed at the editor’s discretion.
