Good morning, Redwood City!
Photo of the Day
The Redwood City Pulse has been honored with 16 California Journalism Awards, including three first-place wins for community coverage, business reporting and photo storytelling. The recognition comes as we mark five years covering Redwood City and San Mateo County and reflects how far the Pulse has come as a local newsroom rooted in this community.
We’re proud of the reporters and photojournalists whose work earned these honors, and grateful to the readers who make this work possible. Read the story here.
