Since 1954, Dallas Weekly has been the heartbeat of African American life in one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions. For 71 consecutive years—never missing a single issue—we have been the most trusted voice of the African diaspora in North Texas.
Our team takes pride in speaking to and for our community, ensuring that we remain a part of—never apart from—those we serve. Like our region, we’ve evolved into a diverse, forward-thinking, and strategically-minded enterprise that draws people from all walks of life. This commitment to excellence has earned Dallas Weekly recognition and awards for impactful journalism on the local, state, regional, and national stages—more than any other Black-owned media outlet of its kind in the area.
Today, The DW is a modern multimedia brand, influencing national conversations and engaging with international audiences, fueled in part by the growing Black immigrant population. Our award-winning print publication now lives alongside a cutting-edge multimedia website, an engaging e-edition, a vibrant social media community, and our newly launched internet radio station.
These platforms allow us to deliver trusted, relevant content across formats—telling stories that reflect our readers, their culture, and their impact. We embrace our responsibility to uphold the legacy of this vital resource while innovating for the future.
With the African American community in North Texas generating more than $35 billion annually, our influence is both cultural and economic. Dallas Weekly is their voice, their mirror, and their megaphone.
Join us as The DW continues to shape the conversation and drive culture forward in Texas and beyond.
