Local journalism is about community.

For five years, the Redwood City Pulse has been telling the stories of the people, businesses, organizations and neighborhoods that make Redwood City unique.

And our community has been an important part of that work. Readers have shared story tips and photos, introduced us to people doing remarkable things and helped us understand the issues that matter most to their neighborhoods.

The Pulse isn't just covering Redwood City — we're covering it with the help of the people who live here.
As we celebrate five years, we're grateful to everyone who has been part of the journey.

Five years. 22 California Journalism Awards.

Since launching in 2021, the Redwood City Pulse has been recognized for its reporting, photography and multimedia work covering the people and issues that matter to our community.

In 2026 alone, the Pulse received 17 California Journalism Awards, including three first-place honors.

We're proud of the recognition, but what matters most is the journalism behind those awards — reporting that helps Redwood City residents understand their community, hold local leaders accountable and stay connected to what's happening around them.

We're celebrating five years of the Redwood City Pulse and the journalism that has made the journey possible.
