About Us

The Orlando Advocate is an independent digital news publication serving Orlando, Orange County and Central Florida. We cover Black communities, public policy, housing, education, public safety, economic opportunity, culture and the public decisions that shape daily life.

Our reporting centers the people and neighborhoods too often overlooked in routine coverage. We pursue factual, useful journalism that asks a practical question: Why should someone in this community care today?

Journalism is a public service. Our responsibility is not only to report events, but to explain their significance, hold institutions accountable, and provide communities with the information they need to make informed decisions.”
