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
