The Haitian Times

History

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 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. Colon and Pierre-Pierre financed The Haitian Times with their own money and by selling shares of the newspaper to Haitian-American investors. The first edition was published on October 20, 1999.[3]
