ColorLines is a daily news site, published by Race Forward, featuring investigative reporting and news analysis from the perspective of communities of color.[1]

History[]

ColorLines was founded in 1998.[1] It was originally a print publication published jointly by the Applied Research Center (now Race Forward), and the now defunct Center for Third World Organizing, a training center for community organizers of color.[2] Bob Wing was the founding editor of ColorLines.[3]

In 2010, ColorLines became an online magazine of the Applied Research Center.[4] Articles are primarily composed of essays, investigative reports, think pieces, opinion columns, cultural criticism, fiction, and humor pieces. Within a year of launching as a daily, digital publication, ColorLines was named a Webby Award Honoree for Political Blogs.[5]
