Vibe magazine closes, but there’s reason to hope
Though Vibe magazine has folded, it’s not dead yet.
The announcement came earlier this week that Vibe has ceased to publish both its print product and its Web site. MTV.com says that with the close of the 16-year-old publication, “there now remains no large circulation print publication dedicated to covering hip-hop, R&B and fashion on a mainstream level.”
But don’t give up hope just yet. Quincy Jones, who started the magazine, is reportedly planning to buy it back, says Reuters.com. If he does, however, he may not bring back the print product. Reuters says he told Ebonyjet.com: “Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that.”
