About ColorLines

ColorLines has been the national newsmagazine on race and politics since 1998. We tell stories from communities of color while focusing on structural solutions that advance racial justice. For daily content on race and politics, visit our blog, RaceWire.org.

Here's what you get with ColorLines:
1. More stories, more investigations, more often. Our team of multiracial journalists covers stories about race around the country. Our writers look at police brutality, the myth of a colorblind America, and Obama's web strategy—just to name a few topics. We also write about the impact of public policy in communities of color and consider steps we can take to move forward.

2.  ColorLines journalists write about race. Our team of writers and photographers produce stories that consider racism as a structural problem with big picture solutions. No matter what the story is—whether it's poverty or sex—our writers talk about race. We consider the impact of laws on communities of color and we also cover how artists of color are changing the culture.

3.  Not just a magazine but a network. More than 20 percent of our readers take action based on what they read in ColorLines. Professors take our stories into classrooms and advocates use information from our magazine in talks with city council members. Connect with us at FaceBook today.
