The Indianapolis Recorder is Indiana's leading news publication of its kind. This African-American, centric newspaper prides itself on featuring news that other local publications overlook. The Recorder is in tune with the pulse of the Black community and has been for over 129 years. Since 1895, The Indianapolis Recorder has been a major voice for our local community, the state of Indiana, our nation, and now internationally. From the beginning, the Recorder has been an advocate for those who could not express their thoughts or concerns; we've also been a supplier of truth and justice. The vision of our founders was to create a publication that would speak to and for the people. The Recorder today continues to hold that original vision in high regard. We communicate in order to increase awareness, educate and motivate the community as well as preserve the community's knowledge of relevant issues. The Recorder, as with other Black newspapers, are not only voices in the community, we are also advocates for African-Americans and minorities as well as the underserved.
