About Us

Our Voices, Our Perspectives

Black in Jersey puts our stories front and center, where they belong. We coach citizen journalists to amplify the voices that shape New Jersey, building connections and fostering conversation through news content and documentary-style storytelling. Authentic and compelling narratives drive our vision, as our stories represent the future of homegrown media across the state.

Founded by a seasoned journalist, Black in Jersey was created to amplify the stories often overlooked by mainstream media. With a passion for community and a commitment to empowering local voices, our founder sought to redefine what news could look like, focusing on stories that reflect the true diversity and richness of New Jersey’s culture.
