Amplifying New Jersey’s Voices

Founded in 2018, New Jersey Urban News is a Black-owned digital media platform committed to covering the stories that matter most to New Jersey’s Black and Brown communities. With a focus on local news, culture, and social issues, we amplify voices often excluded from mainstream media.

Our reporting is rooted in accuracy, transparency, and community accountability. Guided by our mission to serve as “A Voice for the Voiceless,” we deliver ethical, independent journalism that informs, empowers, and reflects the lived experiences of the communities we cover across the Garden State.
