The Los Angeles Blade is an LGBT newspaper launched in 2017 as an offshoot of the Washington Blade.[1]

History

The Los Angeles Blade was launched in 2017 to serve "the second largest market in the country, and one that was underserved by alternative media."[2]

In August 2024, the newspaper, seeking to address the changing news needs resulting from historic demographic shifts in Southern California, announced a partnership with CALÓ News, a Latinx community-focused news outlet.[3] Soon thereafter, the newspaper announced Gisselle Palomera as the News Editor.[4]

Awards and recognition

In 2023, the newspaper received GLAAD’s Barbara Gittings Award for Excellence in LGBTQ Media.[5]

For its coverage of HIV news, the newspaper was the runner-up in the "Health and Health Care" category at the 2024 California Ethnic Media Awards.[6]
