Black Virginia News is unapologetically Black, pro democracy and anti-authoritarian. This newsletter is primarily written by Lauren Victoria Burke and we are open to submissions and story ideas at tips@blackvirginia.news.
Lauren has worked at the intersection of politics and media, serving four members of Congress and contributing to major news outlets including ABC News, USA Today, The Hill, and the Associated Press.
Black Virginia News was born out of absence. We exist not only to inform, but to remember, to record and to resist forgetting. Our investigations are not for spectacleâthey are for survival. We are Black-owned and Black-controlled. That is not a footnote; it is the heart of a historic mission. It matters. It has always mattered. And it always will.

We exist to say what isnât being said, to piece together what was buried, redacted, or simply deemed unimportant by legacy media. Black Virginia News is not for sale and not in need of permission. If you read us, itâs because youâre looking for whatâs missing. The overlooked, the under-reported, the deliberately ignored. We are the first to cover all of Black Virginiaânot by accident, but because no one else ever bothered.
Get the news that matters in Virginiaâs Black communities. We are the diary no one else kept, the running record of what went unspoken. We follow the shifts, the stories that change the game. Unvarnished facts. No apologies. What you wonât find in the mainstream, youâll find hereânot polished, but true. Black Virginia News tells the story others wonât.
