The Washington Informer

The Washington Informer is a Black-owned, woman-led multimedia news organization that serves African American communities in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region. Founded in 1964 by Dr. Calvin W. Rolark, the organization has a rich history of advocating for civil rights and amplifying positive narratives about African Americans. Under the leadership of Denise Rolark Barnes, the current publisher and Dr. Rolark's daughter, the Informer has evolved from a print newspaper to a multimedia enterprise. The Washington Informer focuses on education, empowerment, and community reporting, delivering news through various platforms, including a website, social media, and email newsletters. Its content is recognized by the Library of Congress for its historical significance in documenting African American experiences. The Informer primarily serves African American readers in the DMV area, catering to their cultural and socio-political interests while maintaining a commitment to accurate and community-centered journalism.
