The Richmond Sentinel Media Division is overseen by Florence Gordon. She brings experience in public relations, marketing, finance and the film industry as producer of two national weekly TV shows. The Sentinel has introduced an additional entity by adding a videographer, animator, and graphic artists, not to mention several guest writers. We are proud of our filmed interviews, whether covering an election, discovering new businesses or uncovering true stories like The Lost Canadians. We will continue to publish interesting stories, local and national news, and promote city and non-profit events. In 2026, as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, our vision is to bring live reporting to the forefront for those who rely on digital and for our loyal readers, the print copy will still be available.
