"Your newspaper is awesome."
That's how readers feel about Black Iowa News. Our readers crave representation and news about their communities, and the statewide Black Iowa Newspaper delivers at a time when access to credible information is a must, and news deserts continue to grow.
Our work uplifts the voices of Black Iowans and chronicles their challenges and triumphs
We delivered five editions to more than 100 locations in 24 cities this year, including Black churches, community organizations, small businesses and public libraries. We want to do even more in 2025— and it's more important than ever that the trustworthy journalism we produce reaches the entire state.
