The Haitian Times

The Haitian Times is a diaspora-focused newsroom devoted to chronicling the evolving story of Haitians in the United States and their enduring connection to Haiti. Founded in 1999, the publication emerged at a time when Haitian immigrants were transitioning from a largely transient exile population into a permanent and influential community woven into American society. Over the years, Haitians have made notable contributions in politics, business, culture and the arts, while continuing to navigate the social and political turbulence affecting their homeland. Positioning itself as a trusted voice within the community, The Haitian Times works to bridge generational and geographic divides among Haitians both in the United States and abroad. Its journalism centers on people, prioritizing stories that humanize policies and illuminate the real-life impact of political and social decisions. Through coverage that blends cultural insight with political awareness, the newsroom provides context about issues affecting Haitians locally and globally. The publication also emphasizes audience engagement, listening closely to community concerns and encouraging dialogue around solutions to the most pressing challenges facing Haitians today. By documenting the lived experiences of Haitian Americans and amplifying voices across the diaspora, The Haitian Times seeks to strengthen community ties and contribute to a deeper understanding of Haiti and its people.
