Dayton's African American Voice since 1993
The Dayton Weekly News, founded in 1993 by Don G. Black, is Dayton, Ohio’s longest-running African American newspaper. It provides fair and accurate news coverage for the African-American community, addressing a need identified by Black. The paper delivers weekly content on local politics, health, education, business, community news, religion, sports, and entertainment. Inspired by pioneers like Paul Laurence Dunbar, it continues to offer positive and informative news for its readers, both in print and online.
