Multicultural media exploded with growth over the last 45 years, paralleling an unmatched arrival of immigrants from around the globe. Approximately 50 million American adults relied on some form of multicultural media — print, online, TV, radio — for general news, politics, health, information, and entertainment. In New York, over half the state’s new majority of ethnic minorities named an ethnic news source as a reference.

IQ Inc has risen to meet the needs of the minority communities, which are becoming the new majority. For over 20 years, we have served these communities with relevant, authentic, and trustworthy news and information through our multicultural publications and radio programs. Our publications are The Immigrant’s Journal (English, Spanish & French Creole), Caribbean American Weekly, Workers’ World Today, and our latest, New Black Voices. Our radio programs are: Ask The Lawyer, People, Power & Politics, Labor Radio, and Ask Our Pastor.

The best leader is the hardest worker. Whether it’s business, politics, unions, etc., we can identify our leaders by their work ethic. But not all workers get the rewards they have earned or the recognition they deserve. Our publication, Workers’ World Today, features news, views, and interviews empowering all workers with the recognition they deserve, and the rewards earned.

Workers’ World Today, founded in 2018, is a free publication is working with our Chamber partners, the Hispanic American International Chamber of Commerce (HAICC), the African American International Chamber of Commerce (AAICC), and the New American Chamber of Commerce (NACC), to achieve two unique goals: the Chambers and Workers’ World Today will, one, empower workers to start a union and, two, help all workers to make the transition from worker to a business owner. Is this a contradiction? NO; this is our new and real reality.

Workers’ World Today Columns: From Worker to Business Owner (ESOP), Workers’ Compensation, SSD & Personal Injury, The Good Shop Steward, Workers’ Rights vs. Students’ Rights, Civil Rights or Social Justice? Family: The True Modern Relationship, Home Ownership, Real Estate Development, Retirement, This Day in Workers’ History, We Are the Leadership, Around the Globe, Organizing a Union, Health, Education, Politics and Old & New Immigrants: Their Rights.

The Immigrant’s Journal Legal & Educational Fund, Inc. (IJLEF), founded in 1998, is dedicated to the diverse immigrant groups that constitute the rich fabric of New York. Our purpose is to educate and empower immigrant communities through developing and coordinating various plans of action on important issues crucial to their growth. In summary, our goals are:

• To educate the community members about the contributions that immigrants have made to the United States, economically and historically.

• To inform members of the immigrant community about the changes in immigration law, the educational system, health issues, voting rights, financial opportunities, and home purchasing.

• To legally assist and direct community members facing immigration and other legal problems.

For many years, new immigrants to the United States have been misinformed, embezzled, and denied opportunities. This resulted from the need for more credible publications and organizations geared toward new immigrants. Hence, The Immigrant’s Journal was launched to fill that void. The Journal provides up-to-date information on laws and regulations affecting immigrant communities and news and human interest stories. The Journal is published in English, Spanish, and French Creole. In March 2005, the first Annual Think Tank Conference: Protecting Immigrants, was held at the Brooklyn Museum, where the Immigrant’s Journal Legal & Educational Fund, Inc. Membership Program was launched. The event was a success, and the Membership Program currently boasts over 5,000 members.

Founded in 2022, New Black Voices is a new, exciting, and bold publication. Our mission is to promote tolerance and understanding among all peoples and assist Americans and immigrants who are victims of racial discrimination.

Our mission is accomplished via the following:

• Planning, implementing, and strengthening local and national programs that promote tolerance and understanding among people of various ethnicities.
• Monitoring legislation, policies, and programs that affect the civil rights of Americans of color and immigrants in America.
• Providing informational, networking, and other assistance to our members and the general public.

We are ready to amplify the new black voices.

Founded in 2005 and owned and produced by Caribbean people, Caribbean American Weekly (CAW) is a bi-weekly paper whose island flair does not preclude providing helpful information to immigrants from all countries of origin throughout the New York metropolitan area. The NY Daily News cited Caribbean American Weekly as the number one Caribbean-owned publication!

A bold new idea in newspaper publishing, CAW serves a blend of international news, sports, interviews, feature articles, political analysis without heavy controversy, local news, and informative columns to create a newspaper that readers read and share with others.

Moreover, the bi-weekly paper is accompanied by one of its three topic-specific inserts: Health Matters, CaribVillage, and Equity Smart Realty. With these rotating special interest sections, the publication can attract an audience beyond those interested in Caribbean-American and island life into the broader population of other immigrant communities, African and Hispanic-Americans, and small business owners and entrepreneurs.

Advertising in any of our publications is an excellent marketing strategy that will increase your visibility and your profitability by funneling your campaign directly to New York’s diverse population.
