New York Beacon

Vgaietto: Added the year the first issue was released


In 1981, Big Red News, a weekly newspaper in New York City, was bought by Walter "Ball" Smith. He would later change the name of the paper to the New York Beacon with the mission of delivering news to the African American community in New York City. "Showing the Way to Truth and Justice" soon became the slogan of the newspaper. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

It's first issue as the New York Beacon was 1993.<ref></ref>

Although the New York Beacon displayed Walter "Ball" Smith personal perspective, where he led for 26 years as CEO for the New York Beacon, the newspaper boasted the diversity of many editorialists over the years.<ref></ref>

The New York Beacon is a part of a larger network of African American newspapers known as the National Newspaper Publishers Association. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
