Where to Find Events, Classifieds, Obituaries, and Contact Options on Richmond News

Updated

On richmond-news.com, the four services sit in different places: the Events Calendar is under the Arts & Life menu, Classifieds and Obituaries each have their own sections in the main navigation with separate "view" and "place" links, and Contact Us plus the Daily Headlines newsletter signup are in the Connect area. All four are reachable from the site's top navigation without creating an account, though placing a classified ad or obituary is a separate action from browsing them.

Events Calendar

The Events Calendar is grouped under Arts & Life, alongside Local Arts, Lifestyle, Food and Drink, Features, and the A-list. Use it to see what's happening around Richmond; the site describes it as its calendar of local events.

  • To browse: open the Arts & Life menu and select Events Calendar.
  • What you'll see: a listing of local events rather than news articles, so it's the right entry point when you want something to attend rather than something to read.

Classifieds

Classifieds have their own section in the main navigation, with two distinct entry points:

Goal Link to use
Browse ads already posted View Classified Ads
Submit your own ad Place a Classified Ad

If you only want to look, use View Classified Ads. If you want to post, start with Place a Classified Ad — that's the submission path, and it is a different page from the browsing view.

Obituaries

Obituaries follow the same two-part structure as classifieds:

  • View Local Obituaries — read obituaries that have been published.
  • View Obituaries — a broader obituary listing.
  • Place an Obituary — submit an obituary for publication.

So there are three links in total: two for reading and one for submitting. If you're searching for a specific person, start with View Local Obituaries for Richmond-specific listings, then widen to View Obituaries if needed.

Contact and Newsletters

The Connect area holds the publication's contact and subscription options:

  • Contact Us — the general channel for reaching Richmond News.
  • Daily Headlines — the email newsletter signup, also linked as "Sign up for Daily Headlines" and "Join our Newsletter" in the header area.
  • Support Local News and Support Us — links for supporting the publication, separate from contacting the newsroom.

If your goal is to send a letter rather than a general inquiry, the Opinion section includes Send us a letter, which is the route for reader letters to the editor.

Common Sticking Points

  • Browsing vs. placing: the "view" and "place" links are separate pages. If a form appears when you expected a list, you've landed on the submission page — go back and choose the "view" link instead.
  • Local vs. all obituaries: "View Local Obituaries" and "View Obituaries" are different listings. Check both before concluding a notice isn't there.
  • Newsletter vs. contact: signing up for Daily Headlines subscribes you to email updates; it does not send a message to the newsroom. Use Contact Us for that.
  • Letters vs. general inquiries: reader letters go through Opinion → Send us a letter, not the general Contact Us form.

The site does not state whether placing a classified ad or obituary carries a fee, so confirm any cost or deadline on the submission page itself before completing a form.
