Шаблон:Infobox newspaper The Fort Wayne Ink Spot is a biweekly newspaper published in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and is the only African-American-owned newspaper in northeast Indiana.[1] It is sold on a subscription basis and at newsstands around the city.[2] As of 2019, the newspaper had a circulation of approximately 1,000.[3]

History

The Ink Spot was founded in 2018 as a replacement for Frost Illustrated, a newspaper that had served the city's minority community since the 1960s and folded in 2017. The founder was John Dortch, who also served as CEO of the Fort Wayne Black Chamber of Commerce.[4] The first issue was published on March 12, 2018, and was eight pages long.[1] The paper's first issue was dedicated to Edward N. Smith, the former publisher of Frost Illustrated, and featured a large cover story about him.[1][5]

While serving as the "spiritual heir" to Frost Illustrated, the Ink Spot has sought to distinguish itself by focusing more specifically on personal stories.[2]
