Richard T. Andrews is Editor & Publisher of The Real Deal Press and President of the Neighborhood & Community Media Association of Greater Cleveland. The Real Deal, born in 1991 as a scrappy and creative full-color monthly tabloid, has also appeared over the years as a digital weekly, a blog, and as a full-fledged digital news site since January 2020. Its focus is covering the intersection of race, class and power in the civic, commercial and cultural spaces of Northeast Ohio. No matter its format, The Real Deal Press has consistently been “the place where you can read what you can’t read elsewhere.”
