Daily Negro Times

African American newspaper

The Daily Negro Times was a short-lived African American newspaper published in New York City by Marcus Garvey in 1922.[1] Garvey bought a second hand newspaper press on which to print the paper and equipped the editorial office with a United Press ticker tape, probably the first African American newspaper to have such a facility.[2]

Garvey appointed himself executive editor and his team consisted of:[1]

  • Timothy Thomas Fortune, editor
  • Ulysses S. Poston, managing editor
  • William Alexander Stephenson, news editor
  • Joel Augustus Rogers news sub-editor
  • John Edward Bruce, journalist
  • Hucheshwar Gurusidha Mudgal, journalist
  • Robert Lincoln Poston, journalist
