The New Journal and Guide is a regional weekly newspaper based in Norfolk, Virginia, and serving the Hampton Roads area.

The weekly focuses on local and national African-American news, sports, and issues and has been in circulation since 1900.

By the time World War II was under way, the Journal and Guide was the largest Black employer in the South.

Along with the Chicago Defender, the Baltimore Afro-American and the Pittsburgh Courier, the Journal and Guide took the lead in informing the Black community on events as they related to such issues as housing and job discrimination among Black soldiers.

At that time, the Guide ranked fourth in circulation among Black newspapers in the United States.
