Here’s Why?
Front Runner New Jersey is the ONLY daily digital publication that highlights African-American and Latino leadership and achievement in South Jersey. In today’s political and cultural climate, sharing positive stories on Black and Latino leaders from all walks of life, events and issues are needed more than ever. Now, through our Diverse Voices column, we have a space to present all underserved cultures as well.
FRNJ fills that gap, highlighting people, events, subjects and commentaries that brings the Black ad Latino experiences in South Jersey to life in a way that is not being done now.
What Makes Front Runner New Jersey Different
FRNJ takes a “hyperlocal” approach to its features, commentaries and other posts, presenting articles in a way that are also appealing to audiences across southern New Jersey. Inspired by years in the journalism field, FRNJ makes for a unique, informative blog that exposes its readers to a wide range of positive African-American and Hispanic influencers, events and issues in the region.
Why Front Runner New Jersey is Needed Right Now
Simply put, local news outlets, especially minority-focused outlets, are dying off or being gobbled up by bigger companies that care less about such news. Ebony? Jet? Bloomberg reported how these shrinking newsrooms will leave you without the important stories FRNJ provides now.

“New Jersey, for example, lives in the shadow of both New York and Philadelphia. Sandwiched between large media markets, the state has struggled to lure journalists to cover local news for smaller outlets,” The Bloomberg article stated.
In the Future
If you like what you have seen so far, we are just scratching the surface of Front Runner New Jersey. We will soon launch a podcast, a streaming video show and a newsletter under the FRNJ banner. In the long term, AC JosepH Media, FRNJ’s parent group, has future plans to grow the Front Runner brand to new areas, states and regions.
AC JosepH Media was founded by award-winning veteran journalist Clyde Hughes. The company taps into new and underserved markets that deserve high-quality media services. These include, but not limited to, news releases, web content, professionally-written articles, biographies, grant writing, documentaries, annual reports, books, ghostwriting, and more.
