About Us: St. Johns News
Our Journey Begins (2010)
St. Johns News was founded in 2010 with a vision to become the go-to source for news and information about St. Johns, its rich history, vibrant culture, and the people who call it home. We set out to fill an important gap in the local media landscape—a void of comprehensive, unbiased, and accurate reporting dedicated solely to our beloved city.
Milestones and Achievements
Over the years, we've accomplished much:
- In 2012, we launched our first print edition, featuring in-depth articles on St. Johns' historical landmarks and local businesses.
- By 2015, our online presence had grown significantly, attracting a dedicated readership from across the region.
- In 2018, we introduced a weekly podcast, bringing engaging conversations about current affairs and community stories directly to our listeners.

Filling an Information Gap
The internet, while a vast resource, often lacks in-depth, locally focused content.
