In 2015, MadameNoire had 7,116,000 unique visitors monthly, making it the most trafficked site oriented to African Americans—ahead of The Root, BET.com, and Bossip.com.[1]
The site also has a radio partnership with Café Mocha.[2]
Staff includes Brande Victorian, deputy editor,[2] Courtney Whitaker, weekend editor;[3] and LaShaun Williams, culture and parenting columnist.[4]
MadameNoire was owned by Moguldom Media Group at the time of its 2010 launch.[5] In 2012, Moguldom folded the Atlanta Post (which published from 2008 to 2012) into MadameNoire.[6]
In 2017, iOne Digital, a division of Urban One, Inc., acquired MadameNoire, along with Bossip.com and Hip-Hop Wired. The acquisition helped iOne Digital become one of the largest black digital content providers in the U.S.[7]
