Overview

About Indianapolis Recorder Newspaper

The Indianapolis Recorder is Indiana’s leading Black-owned news publication and one of the nation’s longest-running African-American newspapers. Founded in 1895, the Recorder has built a legacy of reporting that centers voices, issues, and experiences often overlooked by mainstream media. For more than 130 years, it has remained closely connected to the pulse of the Black community while maintaining a clear commitment to factual, responsible journalism.

From its beginning, the Recorder was created to serve as a platform for people whose concerns were ignored or dismissed elsewhere. It reported on injustice, opportunity, progress, and everyday life with the understanding that information is essential to community strength. That founding vision still guides the newsroom today. The Recorder covers local and statewide news, business, health, education, public policy, and culture with context and accountability, ensuring readers understand not only what is happening, but why it matters.

The Recorder’s role extends beyond reporting. It preserves history, documents change, and provides a trusted record of community life across generations. While its roots are firmly local, its reach now extends nationally and internationally, reflecting the broader impact of the stories it tells. At its core, the Indianapolis Recorder remains committed to informed engagement, civic awareness, and journalism that serves the public interest.
