The TRiiBE is an African-American online news and digital media company based in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in 2017 by Morgan Elise Johnson and Tiffany Walden, along with web developer David Elutilo.[1] In 2019, they published a print version of their TRiiBE Guide, an annual guide to Black Chicago.[2]
The site is a digital media platform that combines original reporting with "documentary, creative writing and photography" to cover the stories of the Black community in Chicago.[1] They have collaborated with Chicago Reader on a multimedia series called Block Beat, which features Chicago artists and the neighborhoods they cite as influences.[1] They have also created Another Life, a documentary series in which Johnson and Walden follow people managing the aftermath of lives lost to gun violence.[3]
