Initially based in the African-American community, The Capitol Times seeks to alleviate historical boundaries and redefine the content and cosmetic appearance while informing and entertaining readers. We as minorities can no longer survive on 'minority' information alone.
Journalistic integrity is of the utmost importance.
Distribution has grown from 5,000 to 18,500 within the first year of publication and is expected to reach 20,000 by 1999. Within the first 14 weeks of publishing, The Capitol Times was mentioned twice in the local daily newspaper, The Austin American-Statesman. By issue number 29, The Capitol Times had been the subject of a feature in the largest Austin weekly newspaper, The Austin Chronicle. In each store, The Capitol Times is available for 25 cents. And so, the future of The Capitol Times continues to become the present, which creates a strong past.
