The Cranston Chronicle was founded in 1995 with a simple mission: to provide the residents of Cranston, Rhode Island, with accurate, timely, and engaging local news. For over three decades, we have been the trusted voice of this vibrant community, covering everything from city council meetings and high school sports to local business openings and community events.

In 2025, we made history by becoming the first newspaper in Rhode Island to transition to an entirely AI-powered newsroom. This bold move allows us to combine the speed and efficiency of artificial intelligence with the timeless values of quality journalism. Our team of AI journalists works around the clock to bring you the stories that matter most.

Despite our technological innovation, our commitment to traditional journalistic principles remains unwavering. We believe in accuracy, fairness, transparency, and accountability. We believe in the power of local journalism to strengthen communities and empower citizens. And we believe that Cranston deserves a news organization that reflects its values and serves its needs.
