VIBE MAGAZINE FOLDS

DAMN, DAMN, DAMN …. It’s been a great ride.

Damn!!!!!!!!!! That is crazy. I think it will re-surface next year. $$$$$$$$$$$ is killing consumers. More time is needed. Next summer; things will be almost back to normal. Gas will be down! And thats always good.

The US must Have more faith in our president.

Having Patients is hard to do; but having faith means it can happen. Be and stay positive and watch your dreams come true.

Crazy. The end of an era.

This is crazy. Darkaqua33 is right about print media disappearing. It’s sad because I love collecting newspapers and magazines. It won’t be the same online.

Hearing this news just re-enforces the ever evolving tragedy within Black Media.

A publication of this stature and size was guilty of one thing, not keeping up with the changing media platforms. Even with the recession and declining print media ad spend, Vibe was in a unique position to capitalize on its broad base, however, like many of their counterparts, they chose a different path. A path that did not expand its reach beyond their print borders to other platforms enabling them to re-connect with life long readers and encourage new subscriber base.

It was sad when Vibe was sold to a private equity firm and its even more sad to hear that they are going to cease operations. A movement has to start now or Black Media as we know it may become extinct. Next on the clock is Radio One unfortunately, they are burden with a heavy debt load, variety of media outlets that are bleeding red, and a struggling TV Network joint venture. When Radio one had access to some free capital they chose to buy Blackplanet.com instead of paying down their debt. Poor decision making such as this examples shows and a stock price under $1.00, it is now only a matter of time before the closed sign is turned on for them.
