Black news, real conversations, consequential coverage.
We're the newsroom Black Columbus owns.
Kin+ is the daily editorial home of Kin Worldwide — an independent, Black-owned newsroom publishing accountability journalism for Central Ohio and the wider Black diaspora. Columbus first, national second.
We don't paywall accountability. KinFam members fund the work; the journalism stays free for the people it covers. Advertising on Around The Way supports Black business discovery — it buys no Kin+ coverage and no shield from it.
How we report
Every claim of consequence is sourced. Reporting and analysis are labeled separately. When we get something wrong, we correct it in the open. Read our editorial standards, how we report, and funding & independence policies.
