About Us

For many generations, the black press has maintained a constant presence in the African American community. These publications managed to communicate the struggles, and victories of a determined people, despite the racism and other hurdles that plagued the people who helped build and shape the greatest nation in the world. The Black Press Association of Florida, Inc., continues to uphold the centuries old pledge to educate, inform, and uplift the community. Our organization boasts over 375 years of combined publication activity in the Sunshine State’s media markets, reaching 1.5 million readers, and listeners each week. Our association members have worked together for 20 years and remain committed to being “The Voice of the Black Community.”
