Remember Suede And Honey? Black Magazines We Miss That Have Gone Out Of Print

Emerge
Emerge magazine had some powerful investors behind it. Founded in 1989 and backed by Time Inc. and BET, Emerge was targeted to Black professionals and was “designed to meet the needs of this new, affluent generation, a generation that assumes different kinds of responsibilities along with the new opportunities and freedoms it enjoys.” In 1994, the magazine went on the chopping blocks but was saved when an investor poured $2.8 million into Emerge. However, it couldn’t be saved forever and abruptly folded in 2000.
