The Washington Informer is more than just a newspaper—it is a voice for a community that mainstream media too often overlooks. While major outlets frequently fail to focus on issues that directly impact people of color, especially Black communities, The Washington Informer continues to tell the stories that matter most to us. It provides coverage rooted in understanding, fairness, and a deep respect for the people it serves.
Founded in 1964, The Washington Informer was built on a mission to highlight the positive images of African Americans and to ensure our voices were heard. That mission has not changed. Today, it continues to shine a light on stories that celebrate our culture, achievements, and resilience, while also addressing the challenges our communities face.
The role of The Washington Informer today is vital. It does more than publish the news—it educates, empowers, and uplifts. It covers politics, education, health, business, and social issues with a focus on how these areas affect Black lives. It celebrates local heroes whose contributions might otherwise go unnoticed. And it provides a platform for dialogue and accountability, reminding decision-makers that our voices matter.
The Informer has also embraced the modern era. In addition to its weekly print edition, it offers a strong digital and multimedia presence through its website, newsletters, social media, and “WIN TV.” This makes it a powerful platform that reaches across generations, ensuring young people as well as older readers have access to content that reflects their experiences and interests.
Supporting The Washington Informer means more than keeping a paper alive—it means standing behind a trusted source that puts our communities first. It means ensuring that Black voices, stories, and perspectives are not silenced or forgotten. When we support platforms like The Washington Informer, we take control of our narrative and strengthen the foundation for generations to come.
Let’s continue to support The Washington Informer so that the issues that matter most to us remain in focus, and so that our voices are heard loud and clear.
To Inspire, Inform, Encourage, and Empower Others. Please support the Washington Informer because if we don not, others will create a false narrative of us.
