WNYC News | Feb 28, 2025

The New York Amsterdam News is one of the most influential Black newspapers in the city, and was one of only 50 Black newspapers in the country when it put out its first edition in 1909. Now the over a hundred year old paper is turning its newsroom in Harlem into a museum.  

Elinor Tatum, the publisher and editor in chief of the New York Amsterdam News, talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about it.
