Vibe Magazine Is Folding

By Hello Beautiful June 30, 2009 1:33 pm

Vibe magazine, the urban-music magazine founded in 1993 by Quincy Jones, is closing it doors.  The magazine has fallen on hard times lately and in February, it reduced its circulation and publishing frequency, cut salaries and moved employees to a four-day workweek to save money.

    This is sad but its the sign of the times. Let me call on all my black brothas and sistas, we must, when we can, help aid our black businesses, media, institutions, etc. As a people, we can get by the times

    This is not shocking because as christ was sold for peices of silver and still today money buys friends, lotality, purgered testifying but Michael is past and the scavengers like money and see million in this to aid there fame. Now how ill the child view the parents as white slavery compared to black slavery ,so my words are harsh so if the truth hurt it reaping what you sowed. I see no just in what is by Ms.Rowe and Allen gain for cash , they should have spoken to the jackson family before going public for the kids own respect and Michael Jackson memory of being a father to these kids.

    If anything, I’ll miss the 20 questions thing the most. If it wasn’t for Vibe and the Source, you wouldn’t see a King or a Giant magazine. All great magazines had great predecessors. Thanks Quincy. Vibe will be missed!
