African-American newspapers in Indiana

Front page of the Indianapolis Leader, one of Indiana's first African-American newspapers.

Newspaper rack with issues of the Gary Crusader in 2020.

Various African-American newspapers have been published in Indiana. The Evansville weekly Our Age, which was in circulation by 1878, is the first known African-American newspaper in Indiana.[1] Alternatively, some sources assign the title of first to the Indianapolis Leader[2] or the Logansport Colored Visitor,[3] both of which were first published in August 1879.

A 1996 survey of Indiana's African-American newspapers found that two-thirds were founded before the Great Migration began in 1915.[2] Only a quarter of the newspapers surveyed lasted for more than five years.[2] Despite the high rate of attrition, African-American newspapers continued to be established in Indiana throughout the 20th century[2] and into the 21st.

More than half the African-American newspapers in Indiana have been published in Indianapolis and Evansville.[2] In the northern part of the state, the greatest number of such newspapers have been published in Gary.[2]

The following list contains some newspapers published only on an irregular or sporadic basis, or for which no information on frequency is available. Many of these shorter-lived newspapers, particularly in the 19th century, were political broadsheets produced only in connection with a specific election.

African-American newspapers published in Indiana today include the Gary Crusader, the Indianapolis Recorder, the Fort Wayne Ink Spot, and Evansville's Our Times Newspaper.

## Northern Indiana[edit]

Northern Indiana is the northern third of the state, home to the industrial Calumet Region as well as small cities further east such as South Bend, Fort Wayne and Logansport.
