The Daily Negro Times was a short-lived African American newspaper published in New York City by Marcus Garvey in 1922.[1] Garvey bought a second hand newspaper press on which to print the paper and equipped the editorial office with a United Press ticker tape, probably the first African American newspaper to have such a facility.[2]
Garvey appointed himself executive editor and his team consisted of:[1]
- Timothy Thomas Fortune, editor
- Ulysses S. Poston, managing editor
- William Alexander Stephenson, news editor
- Joel Augustus Rogers news sub-editor
- John Edward Bruce, journalist
- Hucheshwar Gurusidha Mudgal, journalist
- Robert Lincoln Poston, journalist
