The Chicago Citizen Newspaper Group, a Black newspaper publication, is a progressive organization. We inform, we challenge and we do our best to serve the ever-changing needs and interest of our readers.
Since the start of the Civil Rights MOvement in the 1960's, Chicago Citizen Newspapers has remained consistent in the fight for the rights of Africans in America.
We've been dedicated in putting national issues in perspective with local situations, ranging from the need to fill out the census, the importance of voting, economic empowerment in the Black community and many other crisis-related yet informative material so thT OUR 500,000 readers (based on 121,000 weekly circulations, with a household readership of 4.5), can see their world on a larger scale.
There are very few Black newspaper publications that educate, inform, lead and direct a community to further robe their environment. Our readership and support have expanded because Black people in Chicago are "sick and tired" of being "sick and tired." America may be a melting pot, but news coverage and contents of African-Americans must uphold the pride and dignity based upon the inception of the Black press.
A community is a group of people that has something in common. We'd like to think that because of Chicago Citizen Newspapers, they do!
As one of the oldest business institutions in the Black community, the Black Press has established itself as one of the most potent forces ever to evolve for defining social issues and shaping their outcome.
