About Us
Serving the Valley

The Valley Sentinel is a community newspaper that has served the San Ramon Valley since 1995. As a family-friendly publication, The Valley Sentinel contains no criminal or tragic events coverage. The purpose in starting the newspaper was to focus on education, non-profits and community service to provide quality community news and prove that balanced reporting and journalism is alive and well. The method of delivery is through the mail by the US Postal Service to homes and businesses in Alamo, Danville, Blackhawk, Diablo and San Ramon.

Mission:

It is our mission to provide community news and information of importance to residents and business owners here in the area we serve. People choose to move to the valley because of its schools, programs for students, families and seniors. We are privileged to be a resource for critical information about education, government, sports, wellness and lifestyle. We are working together with readers to provide valued information, products and services that exceed expectations!

Things to do! Things to see and hear! Where to Go?
The Back Pocket Guide to the Bay is published twice a year to provide a calendar and information on everything we can find to do in Contra Costa County, plus destinations within a few hours drive. It is distributed all over central Contra Costa County including BART stations along I-680/ Hwy 24, libraries, community centers and gyms, as well as over 150 commercial drop sites and many free-standing ped-mount sidewalk distribution boxes.
This magazine has been wonderful in providing an advertising opportunity for smaller, more localized businesses in central Contra Costa. We print and distribute them until they run out, and have historically done two of them each year.
