Dayton's African American Voice since 1993

The Dayton Weekly News, founded in 1993 by Don G. Black, is Dayton, Ohio’s longest-running African American newspaper. It provides fair and accurate news coverage for the African-American community, addressing a need identified by Black. The paper delivers weekly content on local politics, health, education, business, community news, religion, sports, and entertainment. Inspired by pioneers like Paul Laurence Dunbar, it continues to offer positive and informative news for its readers, both in print and online.

Introducing Our New Real Estate Section

We’re proud to announce the launch of the Dayton Weekly News Real Estate Hub — a dynamic new space on our website dedicated to real estate listings, professional services, and housing resources that directly serve our local community.

 

This initiative is made possible through a powerful partnership with the Greater Dayton Realtist Association (GDRA), the local chapter of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) — the oldest minority real estate trade association in the country.
