It used to be that you couldn’t get on the train or bus commuting to work or school without seeing at least half of the commuters reading a newspaper or magazine but now more and more people are on their phones and tablets. With the changing times, more and more publications are focusing their attention online and are no longer printing publications while some have disappeared altogether. Here’s a list of Black magazines we miss that have gone out of print.
Vibe Vixen
Vibe Vixen was a spin-off of the urban stalwart Vibe magazine that was geared toward men and women who were into hip-hop music, fashion, cars and gadgets. Created in 2004 for Vibe’s female readers, Vibe Vixen focused on fashion, health and beauty, dating, entertainment, and societal issues for “urban minded females.” Wendy Williams, Tracee Ellis Ross and Estelle were some of the celebs that graced the cover of the magazine. Vibe Vixen was released quarterly until its print publications stopped and all of their efforts went online.
