Maroon News aims to fill a perceived gap in the British media for a daily online news publication which primarily targets black and mixed-race British readers and appeals to both adults and teenagers.

The newsmagazine takes its name from the communities of African slaves who escaped from slavery in Jamaica, formed independent settlements and fought colonists, demanding recognition of their freedom. The Maroons preserved much

of their native African culture and languages.

Maroon News, like its namesakes, aims to stand alongside yet independently from

the mainstream British media. Critical to the freedom achieved by the Maroons was their self-definition and Maroon News seeks to adhere to this principle by ensuring

that the current experiences and culture of black Britons is told by those from within these communities - so that they are not just spoken for and defined by others.

Ultimately, Maroon News is a means of keeping the culture and voices of the African diaspora alive in Britain.
