The Haitian Times

[edit]

History

[edit]

Significant numbers of Haitians immigrated to New York City in the 1960s during François Duvalier's dictatorship and in the 1990s during the political instability following the overthrow of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was democratically elected president in 1991.[1] In 1999, an estimated 600,000 Haitian Americans lived in the New York metropolitan area, and an estimated 300,000 lived in South Florida.[1][2]

During the 1990s, two Haitian-born journalists, Yves Colon of the Miami Herald and Garry Pierre-Pierre of The New York Times, wrote news serving Haitian Americans.[2][3] The two discussed aspirations for a newspaper that would report on Haiti without a political agenda and bring attention to the achievements of Haitian immigrants. They chose the name The Haitian Times over The Haiti Times to reflect the focus on the Haitian diaspora. The newspaper was planned to be in English.[3] In contrast, the existing newspapers serving Haitian Americans, Haïti en Marche in Miami, Florida, and Haïti Observateur and Haïti Progrès in New York City, are written in French.[1][4] Colon and Pierre-Pierre avoided French and Haitian Creole because of their sociolinguistic divide: in Haiti, the upper-class speaks French and the lower-class speaks Creole.[2][5] Colon said, "All divisions between our languages are erased in English", and he observed that second-generation immigrants spoke English comfortably.[3] Many Haitian-American newspapers also held strong political alignments, though they wished to stay impartial.[1][3]

Colon and Pierre-Pierre financed The Haitian Times with their own money and by selling shares to Haitian-American investors, such as business owners, physicians, friends and white-collar workers. Pierre-Pierre remarked that "the only non-Haitian investor is my father-in-law."[3][5] Colon took a year-long leave of absence from the Miami Herald, and Pierre-Pierre quit The New York Times.[5] The main office of The Haitian Times was located on Court Street in Brooklyn, and other offices were establised in Colon's home in Miami and in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.[1][5] The first edition was published on October 20, 1999.[3] Initially, the newspaper employed 15 staff and printed 40,000 copies each week, which leveled off to 20,000 copies by 2004 after its audience solidified.[1][4]
