Over 18,000 readers, nearly half of whom are black elected officials, value the magazine for its in-depth, yet straightforward features on politics, as well as a broad range of economic and social concerns affecting African Americans and the nation at large.

TrendLetter, FOCUS' news and analysis section, is divided into three sections: Political Report, Economic Report, and Health Report. TrendLetter provides an overview from a black perspective of public policy initiatives, economic issues, and international affairs.
