This is a list of African American newspapers that have been published in the state of Ohio.

Contents

The history of African American publishing in Ohio is longer than in many Midwestern states, beginning well before the Civil War. In 1843, the Palladium of Liberty became Ohio's first African American newspaper. [1] It was followed by The Aliened American in Cleveland in the 1850s, and by the Cincinnati Colored Citizen in 1863, which was one of the few African American newspapers published during the Civil War. [1]

Notable African American newspapers currently published in Ohio include the Akron Reporter , The Cincinnati Herald , the Cleveland Call and Post , The Toledo Journal , and the Youngstown Buckeye Review .
