The South Seattle Emerald is Southern Seattle’s only nonprofit, reader-supported, and community operated media and news outlet.[3] It is an online newspaper that is focused on Seattle's South End Neighborhoods, South King County, Washington, and stories throughout the regions that are important to BIPOC and working class people. Founded in 2014 by Marcus Harrison Green, and founding board member Bridgette Hempstead, South Seattle Emerald has always been a free nonprofit news website.[4] Created to show that the Southend, as Marcus Green put it, “is more than just the crime section in the Seattle Times.”[5]
The paper relies on community volunteers, both writers and photographers to report the news. It largely utilizes BIPOC authors.
