About Detroit Native Sun
The Detroit Native Sun (DNS) is a free community newspaper that was founded in October 2005. It transitioned into a nonprofit 509(a)(2) in January 2024.
Michigan is amid a public health crisis involving literacy that affects 47% of adults and 40% of children. The state ranks among the lowest in the nation in literacy. An adult’s inability to read contributes to poverty, low self-esteem, unemployment and/or low wages, and poor health.
Imagine struggling to read instructions on a prescription bottle, employment ad, housing agreement, bank statement, or a simple fairy tale.
It's time to end this silent crisis and give today's youth the gift of words so that they can speak out loudly.
The Detroit Native Sun Newspaper is giving students a voice to speak out. Our student journalism training program teaches children how to effectively interview, research, and write newsworthy articles. Students in grades 6 - 8 will interview community leaders, entrepreneurs, banking employees, politicians, and religious leaders to write stories on homelessness, financial literacy, sports, education, community service, youth-to-prison pipeline, and upcoming elections and tell how each affects today’s youth. They will also identify problems and offer potential solutions to resolving issues in the community. Five newspapers will be published and distributed to students, parents, and potential readers throughout Metro Detroit.
